DD got this as part of her degree course. Very, very different to the 7th edition, on which the first English translation was based and which Disney plundered. Some of the stories are very savage indeed. One thing struck me: a lot of the stepmothers were originally birth mothers, which creeped me out no end. Has anyone else read it?
