It is great.

I like Hank's story so much better! Much more interesting - and realistic.

Thanks!

After a life-time of Disney, reading the real thing is rather a slap in the face!

And these are children's stories? JEEZ!

Writing makes the voices stop for me, too.

This inspired me to base my "Once Upon a Time" on a good, old, gruesome bit of mythology :)

Really?! Neat!!

I think it's very telling that these stories are considered 'children's stories'.

And what happens to us when we grow up?

I always liked the real version better myself, personally. Although the one I know is where she ends up married to the prince, and for some reason has the children killed, cooked into a pie, and served to him at dinner.

As far as I know, what I have described is a real version.

Although I suppose it's impossible to count all the 'real' versions of fairy tales.

Yum! Fetch my spoon!
