- > Folktales were not originally for children.
I learned this the hard way. I purchased a beautifully made "Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales" to read to my then toddler. There are some particularly disturbing stories but I was surprised by how many were flat out nonsensical or silly (like The Story of a Boy Who Went Forth to Learn Fear [0]). It's fascinating to read these in their (translated) original form. Not your typical bedtime story.
- Compared to the original Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales which included such kid-friendly topics as child abuse, incest, murder, and cannibalism this doesn't sound too bad.
