Another whopper of a fairy tale. Basically, don't complain so much, otherwise your jerk dad (the king) will marry you off to some loser because you have no say in the matter (so suck it up).

Some of these stories are a real slog. Stuff just happens randomly, usually to women who don't do what they're told. You can see why the Brothers Grimm heavily edited future editions. Most of the stories are entertaining.

I love seeing all the variations on different fairy tales like Bluebeard.

Wow. Stumbled upon a doozy of Shakespearan proportions. How Some Children Played at slaughtering. About as sad as you can imagine.

After a very lengthy introduction by the translator and then the Grimm brothers, you finally get to the stories. I love the simplicity of them. The Virgin Mary steals your babies (3 times) and all you have to do to get them back is apologize and confess? Why wouldn't you confess the first time it happens?
