see i thought the bros grimm stories are the original 'real' ones and the toned down ones we know today are the 'twisted' ones. but you say that the grimm ones are 'twisted'

thats one thing we'll never truly know which are/were the seminal (s/p) text. Personally my English teacher turned me off nursery rhymes for ever last year when he said that most fairy tales have a deeper sexually rooted meaning. I'M NEVER GOING TO SEE HUMPTY DUMPTY THE SAME AGAIN

True. Take Alice in Wonderland for example. People have told me Lewis Carroll was on a high when he wrote the book, and the entire thing is a nonsensical, sexual allegory. For example how many ways can you interpret, 'down the rabbit hole'?

i wasn't exactly thinking of that kind of book. more like the tales are twisted into murder stories. i read about it somewhere but i don't know what the book is called...
