Struwwelpeter

<h2 id="background">Background</h2>

Hoffmann wrote the book that would later be titled Struwwelpeter in reaction to what he perceived as a lack of good books for children. Intending to buy a picture book as a Christmas present for his three-year-old son, Hoffmann instead wrote and illustrated his own book.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> At the time of producing it, Hoffmann had no intentions of publishing his book.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a>

<h3>Publications</h3>
The first appearance of Hoffmann's book outside his immediate family circle was in a meeting organized by Frankfurt literary club Tutti Frutti Society (Gesellschaft der Tutti-Frutti) on 18 January 1845. On the evening of that day, Zacharias Löwenthal, a co-founder of publishing company Literarische Anstalt, bought Hoffmann's book for 80 <a href="/facts/Gulden_(currency)/I0e4M925">gulden</a>. Hoffmann later wrote that "[in] that night, at 11 o'clock, I had, almost without knowing what I had done, suddenly become an author of juvenile books."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>
The book first appeared in the Frankfurt marketplace in October of that year under the title Lustige Geschichten und drollige Bilder mit 15 schön kolorierten Tafeln für Kinder von 3–6 Jahren ("funny stories and droll pictures with 15 beautifully coloured panels for children of 3–6 years"). The first version had its illustrations printed with <a href="/facts/Lithography/LFwpJbE7">lithographic plates</a> and colored by hand with <a href="/facts/Stencil/EN96ffRd">stencils</a>, the text was printed using <a href="/facts/Typesetting/CsKmfY0t">typesetting</a>. On 3 October, the book was advertised in the <a href="/facts/B%25C3%25B6rsenblatt/XH64oyy0">Börsenblatt</a> for a retail price of 48 <a href="/facts/Kreuzer/31lHXItE">kreuzer</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a>
In 1846, three other editions of the book were published. The second edition had 5,000 copies produced, each of which was priced at 57 kreuzer; Hoffmann's royalty was of 6.25 percent per copy. Hoffmann's name was only partially revealed in the second edition, where he used the pseudonym "Hoffmann Kinderslieb". His authorship of the book was, however, fully revealed to the public in an advertisement featured on a Frankfurter Konversationsblatt publication on 11 December 1846. Hoffmann's real name was only fully displayed in the fifth edition, which was published in 1847.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a>
The third edition was the first to be officially titled Struwwelpeter, though the second edition had already been nicknamed as such by some book reviewers.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a>

<h3>English editions</h3>
The titles Struwelpeter and Strewelpeter have been used in multiple English editions of Struwwelpeter. The name Slovenly Peter was first found in an 1849 American version of the book.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a>
British twin illustrators <a href="/facts/Janet_and_Anne_Grahame_Johnstone/vjXQFPtw">Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone</a> provided new illustrations for an English translation published in 1950.

<h3>Copyright issues</h3>
In 1847, Struwwelpeter's publishing house sued a Nuremberg publisher for printing the book on <a href="/facts/Broadsheet/mdYfB6zl">broadsheets</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a>
In 1851, the same organization sued publisher Christian Scholz on grounds that he had plagiarized Struwwelpeter by publishing translations of the book in English, Dutch and Swedish. Scholz lost the case and was sentenced to pay a fine of 1,040 gulden, along with court costs of 127 gulden. He was also ordered to destroy all <a href="/facts/Lithography/LFwpJbE7">lithographic plates</a> and unsold books in his inventory. This became one of the first copyright court cases in Germany.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>
In 1891 <a href="/facts/Mark_Twain/W0Pezv3l">Mark Twain</a> wrote his own translation of the book, but because of copyright issues Twain's Slovenly Peter was not published until 1935, 25 years after his death.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a>
