Okay, is there anyone else here who loves Struwwelpeter as much as me? Well, I'll tell you my adventure of how I fell in love with it (sort of).
I found out about Struwwelpeter in 2016. It was mentioned in an anthology of children's literature I was reading.
In 2018, I saw that it was referenced in The Office and became more intrigued.
In 2021, I came across the movie version of the book, which has a much sweeter ending than the book.
And in 2022, I made my own versions of the stories, which also have happy endings.
Technically, it's the characters, not the stories, that I adore. But this wasn't always the case. As I said, it's the movie that captured my heart. The book was just a thing I knew. But the movie gave the characters actual personalities that they didn't have in the book. They were flat in the book and the movie fleshed them out. Not very much, but it did so.
(I know of Max and Moritz as well, but their movie doesn't have a happy ending.)
