Parents
Grimm's Fairy Tales are not all appropriate for very young children.
Some the of the tales contain violence and prejudice. Some of the
prejudice in evidence still exists today and cannot be viewed as
entirely historical in nature. Please exercise care when reading
them to young children. Read the tale yourself first, then decide if
it is appropriate.
Thanks go to all the visitors who have helped put this list
together back in 1989/1995. There has been no edits made to the
original text other than page/paragraph layout.
If anyone has more information on Margaret Hunt, please let me
know.
