Grimm's Fairy Tales

New Paperback

Postscript summary

Once upon a time the brothers Grimm published a scholarly collection of folk tales, but only when they rewrote them for children did the Fairy Tales become popular. In addition to accusations of violence that led to more sanitized versions of the Tales than this 1884 translation, Little Red Riding Hood was banned in Germany by the Allies because the Nazis had glorified it as symbolic of their people being saved from the Jewish wolf.
