Slovenly Betsy, Proud Phoebe, Lazy Charlotte, and other naughty girls get their comeuppance in these darkly humorous fables by Heinrich Hoffmann, the author of Struwwelpeter (Shock-headed Peter). Hoffmann's Slovenly Betsy features the same hilarious approach to manners and morals as its famous predecessor. Adults and children alike will revel in these quaintly illustrated rhyming stories of bad habits and their dire consequences.
More than 40 full-color drawings accompany Hoffman's cautionary tales in verse of Sophie Spoilall, who deliberately breaks her toys; The Little Glutton, whose greed for sweets leads to a misadventure with a beehive; Envious Minnie, whose pretty face is ruined by jealousy; and other rude and disobedient children. The first large-format edition of a lost classic, this volume will delight book collectors and bibliophiles as well as all readers with a taste for perverse drollery.

Peacock Blue
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Lake Blue
Not out yet because of weather, but it looks good, unusual point that some of the spokes according to the directions need to be put on yourself, but at least this way they not bent in box. Note when I bought it - it used the color Lake Blue but the picture was a Peacock Blue - I took the chance and it is a Peacock Blue- I would not call it Lake at all or sky or any of those colors. It worked out for me as it matches perfectly with my Peacock Blue cushions and other umbrellas, It defintiely seems like it is sturdy and the size looks as it should, it has a nice weight as i did open it in house to take a look, the material has a slight sheen which makes it appear a little different than my others, but not something most people would notice.

Attractive and seems like it will hold up
Size: 6.5x10ft, Color: Blue-Green Stripe
Seems sturdy enough. Tilt button is difficult to retract to straight, but maybe just my finger strength, or it will loosen up with time. The color of one of the stripes is off from the photo. I was hoping it was turquoise as shown in picture, but is actually a much deeper blue. Doesn't coordinate with my other patio colors like I hoped it would, but it will do.

Would recommend

Love the rectangular shape, it allows more coverage in areas that I need it. The tilt feature works well and is handy. Easy to put together and would recommend
