It is black with red lettering that drips blood-hahahaha. I read the tales when i was a kid and some were censored and others not so much and I think we need to give credit to kids-they see things in black and white-witch bad-needs to be punished-good. No repercussions about that or thinking about the times when so many were burtn at the stake for being different or anything like that. So the gal of many coats had to hide from her dad cos he found her so beautiful he wanted her as his wife(ick) she came out alot better in the end-happy ending:) (except for Hn's tales where so many died)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-44667207215373996452014-04-25T12:31:22.135-07:002014-04-25T12:31:22.135-07:00Those fairy tales are pretty gory in their origina...Those fairy tales are pretty gory in their original versions.

I definitely prefer the darker versions now, though - they're more real.

Scared the dickens out of me. Thank goodness all they ever read to me were light and happy Golden Books. I read Beatrix Potter and Winnie the Pooh to my boys. So, I guess we are all soft and squishy.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-43948396603614755252014-04-25T02:57:56.936-07:002014-04-25T02:57:56.936-07:00I love Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, my husban...I love Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, my husband and I watched it again the other night - brilliant. I like the darker versions, but also, I am glad for the more sanitised versions for the kiddies.
