Doktor Schrecklichkeit's Struwwelhitler  is one of those fantastic items that jumps right out at you as you pick it up.  The story of Struwwelpeter is startling enough, but to have the moral story redirected as anti-Hitler propaganda gives this item a palpable historic presence.  Imagine the thrill children felt as they got hold of this Daily Mirror book.

The item is first edition [no date given, but 1941]: the cover depicts Hitler with twin armbands, and is thus  the 1st. The item is part of a private collection and set of similar children’s rare books going to auction over this month. This copy is in vg condition, a reasonably tight and very bright and clean copy. Some wear to spine with loss at bottom, crease and small tear to bottom right of front and crack inside between pages 8/9. Thin card covers with pencil annotation inside: 9/41 (for guidance on the grading of this book, please see below). A very rare, interesting and collectable piece.
