Reply To: Reading "Fairy Tale" books to our children!

Most Secular Popular Fairy Tales are either from or based on the collection of the Grimm’s brother fairy tales.

You should read the original versions of the Brother’s Grimm stories (or the faithful English translation by Ralph Mannheim).

Just don’t read them in front of your 3-year-old daughter! They’re not just “politically incorrect” by any standard but more than one of them is blatantly anti-semitic. In view of the fact that the brothers Grimm supposedly travelled around Germany collecting stories people told them, the unsanitised version of the stories must reveal something of what German society was like that ended in the Holocaust.
