Murder, mutilation, cannibalism, infanticide, and incest: the darker side of classic fairy tales is the subject of this groundbreaking and intriguing study of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's Nursery and Household Tales . This expanded edition includes a new preface and an appendix featuring translations of six tales with commentary by Maria Tatar.

No other book so thoroughly challenges us to rethink the happily-ever-after of these classic stories.
