Jim,

in German, which most will point out to you is not Swiss, you had the
correct spelling.  The book/character is available in different dialects and
the author, Heinrich Hoffmann, did write it originally in German.
Strüwelpeter. Just so ya know!

My Babianas are blooming, what a great blue!  I tucked them among some
stones and gravel to great effect!

Ciao,

PS: the stories are grusome!
