Preface. Added to some of the original rhymed stories are a few "politically corrected" endings for the faint-hearted child or, parent. Those with a sense for black humour and an awareness of the brutality of the real world and television, children are exposed to, will understand and love it and therefore contribute to the continuation of a phenomenal success since first publication in 1845. Translated not only in all major living languages but also into Latin and Classical Greek. Mark Twain is among the various translators of English versions, sometimes called "Slovenly Peter," The British theatre group "Tiger Lilies" has successfully toured internationally with a stage version. This recent translation is truly congenial, modern and witty.
