The
Annotated Brothers Grimm
Haven't seen this mentioned here (though I may have missed it), so I daresay I was most surprised to see it behind the counter of B&N tonight:
www.amazon.com/exec/obido...lalufairyt
It's another annotated fairy tale book by Maria Tatar! Can I get a "woot woot"?
Needless to say, I pounced on it immediately.

Rumour
Hi U.S. folks,
The British edition of this book, published by Norton, includes the story "The Lost Child" but rumour has it that the American publishers cut that story from the U.S. edition because they decided it was too grim...
Can anyone confirm or deny this please?
"The Lost Child" is the story with the "Carrie" moment when the child's arm reaches up out of the grave and is beaten down by Mother with a stick! Grim indeed!

Re: Rumour
It's in the U.S. edition under the title, "The Stubborn Child." It's in the tales for adults section on page 381.

Re: Rumour
Thank you Heidi.
I didn't think it could be true and I'll now be able to authoritively deny this particular urban myth* if it arises again in my hearing.

What is "The Lost Child"? -I have never heard that one. Is it on any sites online?

Thanks for the link. I understand why that wasn't in any of my old fairytale books- That is a creepy story! Perfect for Halloween.
And the note is no problem- I love reading what you all have to say here. It's cool, I feel challenged to think (which I so rarely do...) :lol
