Shock-Headed Peter

Download Shock-Headed Peter

shock-headed PeterThese wonderfully nasty poems by Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann are about all those naughty children who DON’T deserve any presents this Christmas. We’ve chosen four from the collection of little horrors – Shock-Headed Peter, Cruel Frederick, Dreadful Harriet, and Flying Robert.

Natasha gives a wonderfully lively and amusing performance, but these stories are rather horrid by modern standards. Some small children might find them a bit scary

Struwwelpeter first appeared in English in 1848, three years after the German original, but who translated it is unknown.

As a special treat we present the original pictures and text including other poems from the collection.

Read with great verve by Natasha.
