Alright, you know how the princess kisses the frog to change him back? That's not what originally happened. She didn't know he was a frog prince and threw him violently against the wall for being annoying. That's what changed him back to a person

Can't wait to read all these. Dover Thrift Edition, a few dollars off Amazon... so it'll be the original translation / version

You can mention the real stories with spoiler tags. Funny to see how differently Disney (and all the family entertainment ppl) changed these

German fairy tales were used as warnings as to what children shouldn't do or else bad things will happen.

They were based on German folklore. These brothers had access to a school library as kids, kind of poor and outcast from the world, with centuries-old fairy tales in there. Then during the Napoleonic Wars, they were trying to document and reclaim "German" history

I guess people used to be more fucked up about morals
