There have been rather a lot of versions of fairytales purporting to be original and unbowdlerised, so I'm not sure just how different this book is.

My Favourites:
1.) Briar Rose {the best version of sleeping beauty}
2.) The Twelve Dancing Princesses {sly, wise, old codger}
3.) The Goose-girl {talking dead horse head = freaky}
4.) Fundervogel {sweet kids who become murderer's}
5.) The Robber Bridegroom {gruesome}
6.) Frederick & Catherine {take responsibility}
7.) The Pink {"until flames bursts from his throat"}
8.) The Fox and the Cat {''You with your hundred arts are left in the lurch!"}
