The Brothers Grimm tales were adorned and censored from edition to edition due to their extreme harshness. The Grimms defended themselves against criticism by arguing that their stories were not directed at children. But, to satisfy the demands of the bourgeois public, they had to change several details of the originals. The tales of the Brothers Grimm have, contrary to popular belief that they are considered the classics of children's literature par excellence, a dark side, far from illusion and happy endings. In this complete edition the true spirit of his texts is recovered.
