These seem to be the two most common sources to find fairy tales from. I have a book of the Grimm fairy tales, 200 stories in that one, I haven't gotten around to reading more than the first couple yet but I'm very curious to find out if there's Snow White in one story, what is in the one Snow White and Rose Red, and why are there several stories involving people named Hansel and Gretel when we only know of the 'original' story? Of course there are far more than where those came from; at the library in the nonfiction section where the fairy tales are kept (huh?), there's Japanese fairy tales, Dutch fairy tales, Swedish fairy tales, etc., obviously they're not as common.
In your opinion, of the two main authors, is one better than the other or do they pretty much even out? And just HOW did we go from fairy tales originally being tales of incest and cannbalism and beastility and homicide, and all that good stuff, and only the brightest scholars got to study them, to them being the pussified politically corrected up pieces of crap they are now. And on the subject of Red Riding Hood being banned some years back because of the illustrations having her carrying a bottle of wine for her granny, what the hell?
