Mountain Witch Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 According to The Guardian, someone's translated Grimms' Fairy Tales from the original German. If you didn't know, the originals were much gorier than what we read today. It's on my "to buy" list!

RoseRed Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 My Mother had a copy of Grimms Fairy Tales. It was the only book in the house that I wasn't allowed to read. Guess who snuck it into their room to read it under the covers with a flashlight? Those stories gave me nightmares for weeks when I was little. I think reading through them again as an adult will have provide a different perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
