lovely article on a great man, well sourced. The hook, perhaps my lack of English: do we have to add "for children" to "education book"? Can we mention something like "one of the great Swabians", because that book is in Swabian? Too bad we can't mention some other half-quirky facts also, that he wanted only The Lord's Prayer and his self-written obituary for his funeral, or that he chose his pen name to be close in shelves to his role model Tucholsky? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:51, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- Well, if we use that hook, I think "for children" needs to stay as there are also sex education books for young adults, and even old adults. ;-) I'll put on my thinking cap and see if I can come up with some alt hooks tomorrow. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 16:01, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

- Here are two more. I personally prefer Alt 2.
- Alt 1... that Hans Bayer chose the pseudonym Thaddäus Troll because he wanted his books to be near Kurt Tucholsky's on library shelves?
- Alt 2... that German novelist, playwright and poet Thaddäus Troll also wrote a sex education book in Swabian dialect?

also prefer ALT2 as broader, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:03, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
