Book Reviews of the Struwwelpeter in English Translation (Dover Children's Classics)
Customer Review: Der Struwwelpetter - good, translation, horrible
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book from Amazon the other day as my violin teacher teacher (who is German) compared me to "Zappel-Phillip" (fidgety Phillip) one day during a lesson and I wanted to see what it was all about. The pictures and stories are funny and entertaining, and I would highly recommend this book, but in a different edition/translation. The Englih translation is absolutely horrible and the inginuity and 'spark' present in the German translation are missing. Luckily for me, the original German text is also printed in the back.
