Old fashioned stories with a message
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
My kids love these little old fashioned stories because they are so un PC and a bit shocking. The story they tell is remembered and leaves the reader/listener wide eyed.

Growing up my Dad would change the names of the characters to the names of his four daughters... it was morbid and scary but, boy did it stay with us! I was ecstactic when I found the books again!87
Fun lessons for Children
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a nice compliment for Slovenly Peter which works for boys. This is the girls version. It gives parents an opportunity to teach children with a little "tongue in cheek".

For those of you have read or grew up on the spooky tales of Hoffman's Struwellpeter, this book is a must as the perfect companion. More of the same grim, yet wonderful stories that we have all grown to love!
