Children Glassbrenner, Adolf: Slovenly Kate and Other Stories (illus). v1. 14 Apr 2021

[GrannyGrump]

THIS POST MASSIVELY EDITED, DUE TO INCORRECT AUTHOR BEING CREDITED.

From Adolf Glassbrenner, a collection of cautionary tales set in verse. Slovenly Kate is a “Struwwelpetriade”, an example of the multitude of that sub-genre that grew out of the success of Heinrich Hoffmann’s Struwwelpeter / Slovenly Peter.

These little poems, while demonstrating the bad results of children’s misbehavior, are not so violent or extreme as those in Hoffmann’s Der Struwwelpeter, so they are probably a wee bit more “politically correct” for modern children’s reading.

Slovenly Peter is available here in the MobileRead library:

Just uploaded book with corrected author information.
Many thanks to Doitsu, who informed me that Heinrich Hoffmann was NOT the author of Slovenly Kate.

You learn something every day, and many book publishers have been attributing the wrong author for 150 years!
