I have officially spent too much time contemplating Struwwelpeter today
#there was an incorrectly dated reference to it in some of our curatorial material#and I knew it was wrong but I had no idea what source to go at first#but I went through the day by day compilation and found it#so if anybody is wondering:#mark Twain worked on his English translation of Struwwelpeter from October 24th to 28th in Berlin in 1891#not in 1878#which is what our Christmas material states#I’m pretty sure they went to Berlin that year as well#which is probably why it was wrong#they spent a lot of time in Europe so it’s easy to reference the wrong trip to Germany#ngl I do get a rush out of correcting inaccuracies so I can’t wait to send this find to our curator#and see if she wants to update other things as well#the Christmas material hasn’t been updated since 2016#it’s like the time I got IBDB to update Blanche yurka’s bio and denote the discrepancy of her birthplace#museum musings
