I beg to differ. Hans Christian Anderson, and Brothers Grimm have entertained me for many years, but always in abridged forms as a child. It wasn't til my teenage years that I was introduced to the bloody and oftentimes frightening conclusions to many a character in the fairytale.
Didn't you read the whole stories as a child?
Nope. Many child versions abridged the originals to make them more "kid-friendly." Can't have Cinderella's stepsisters having their foot sliced to fit into the glass slipper.
