Fairy tales

I found an excellent copy of Grimms Fairy Tales but I'm not going to use it with Springy. They are far too violent and despite my Waldorf readings my background in fairytale literature means that I am very aware of the cultural climate that the Grimms worked in and how these stories were not really aimed at children (life was much more brutal back then and people had to know their place). They are so out of kilter with Springy and I much prefer to use our modified versions by Ladybird books, in Oak Meadow and so on. I do find this article by William Harrer of interest though: http://www.waldorflibrary.org/Journal_Articles/valuegrimms.pdf
