Description

  • Content Description: Essay and history of the folk character Struwwelpeter, translated variously as "Slovely Peter," "Shock-headed Peter," Boy with shock of unkempt bristly hair" etc. This character was well known to Mark Twain, and would have been an influence for his character Huckleberry Finn.
  • Physical Description: 12, [3] p.: col. ill.; 48 mm. Bound in publisher's green leatherette with applied hand-colored circular label on cover. In orange card slipcase with shaped hand-colored illustrated label. Text of each page is printed going in a different direction, so that as the book is read, it has to be turned "in a somersault", as Struwwelpeter does.
