There is alot of general creepiness, misogyny and weirdness in these fairytales. I read them as part of a fantasy mooc I'm currently taking. I was surprised by the stories I have never heard, such as the Rabbit's Bride, where a rabbit whisks away a girl and tries to make her his bride. Or King Thrushbeard, where a princess is taught the lesson of humility in the most, well, humiliating manner. Worth looking through to see new stories and how the originals differ from our Disney versions.
