商品簡介
Responding to a renewed interest in Hoffman's casually violent, cautionary tales, Chalou (education, U. of Maine Presque Isle) considers the socio-historic context in which the book was written and makes comparisons to contemporary children's stories, such as the Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket series, that are similarly violent but intended to be humorous. The text includes some illustrations and stories from Der Stuwwelpeter. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
