Winnie-the-Pooh By A. A. Milne

A collection of cautionary tales for children, filled with exaggerated and humorous consequences for misbehavior. Each story teaches a moral lesson in a quirky and unforgettable way.

Description

Enter the macabre world of Struwwelpeter, a collection of cautionary tales penned by Heinrich Hoffmann in 1845. Originally crafted as a Christmas gift for his son, Hoffmann’s tales depict children who misbehave and consequently face exaggerated, often gruesome punishments. From Paulinchen, who plays with matches and perishes in flames, to the thumb-sucking Conrad, whose digits are severed by a tailor, these stories were designed to instill discipline through fear. While controversial, Struwwelpeter has left an indelible mark on children’s literature, reflecting 19th-century societal values and the era’s approach to morality and obedience. ?
