"Struwwelpeter: Merry Stories and Funny Pictures" by Heinrich Hoffmann is a children's book written and illustrated in 1845. This collection of ten rhymed cautionary tales shows children suffering disastrous consequences for their misbehavior. A girl plays with matches, a thumb-sucker meets a scissor-wielding tailor, and a boy who refuses soup wastes away. Each story delivers stark moral lessons through exaggerated punishments. Originally created as a Christmas gift for Hoffmann's young son, this pioneering work combines visual and verbal storytelling in ways that foreshadowed modern comic books.
