Original-content fairytales
So if anyone has any kind of info on this I would be most grateful. Thankies.

I can't swim. I can't drive, either. I was going to learn to drive but then I thought, well, what if I crash into a lake?

One of the best ways to search is to probably look up origins of Disney movies. Disney are well known to have fluffed up nastier stories, like 'The Little Mermaid', into something more child-friendly.

I recall hearing a nastier version of 'The Little Mermaid' once before..I'll try and find it, but no guarantees. I just recall a lot more gore in it, and not such a happy ending. I've also heard of nastier versions of 'Little Red Riding Hood' - Lots of them. Some have her or a woodcutter cutting open the wolf and retrieving her grandmother, some turn out with the wolf eating everyone..
:woohoo: Yeah. There are a lot of versions.

Yeah you are right the little mermaid ends in the version I have heard as sea foam, because she fails to get her prince and I actually owned a CHILDRENS red riding hood book that has an illustration of the woodcutter cut-opening the wolf...I don't know where it is but still it was from my older brother printed during the seventies, when there was no PA and we were happier
Good thing you reminded me I HAVE TO find that book....and post it everywhere

I wouldn't have thought such violence would be seen in a children's book for 'Little Red'..Aah..Wonder what versions I have. I know I have several big books of fairytales in my room somewhere, but the publishing dates weren't that long ago, so I don't think there'd be much violence and gore. :woohoo: Probably published during early 1990s at the earliest.

It's a humour site but it's relevent to the topic at hand, somewhat, it basically tells you of alternate versions of fairy tales and such that have been made into Disney movies.
I always remember being told of the violent ending of \"Little Red Riding Hood\" where the wolf's stomach gets cut open by the guy though I can't rely on my memory to say whether there were any pictures or not. There might have been, I get vague images of it which may be a memory or may just be fabricated.
With the world as it, I'd be surprised if a kid's book had that sort of stuff in it now. Likely the Grandmother is hidden under the bed or something.
