Original Disney StoriesAre they really that different from the ones on the movies? Yes, They are.Want an idea of how dark the original Disney stories are? Here's a taste... Rapunzel got pregnant and had twins. Just saying.If you want Scary Disney stories... this book is for you.If you want to read Disney variations... this book is for you.If you want to know the origin of all these stories... you know.

They compiled all these stories through years of research, to preserve these pieces of the german culture for future generations. Inside you will find the original stories of Snowhite, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Little red riding-hood, Hanzel & Gretel, just to say a few. But these are not like the beautiful stories Disney made you fall in love with. The original stories are raw, dark, and some may even be taken as horror stories. Which makes them great for readers like you, tired of those happily ever after.These stories were created to leave a piece of moral knowledge to the reader. Although not doing so in the most child-friendly way. Which is way more fun!

...It was the middle of winter, when the broad flakes of snow were falling around, that the queen of a country many thousand miles off sat working at her window. The frame of the window was made of fine black ebony, and as she sat looking out upon the snow, she pricked her finger, and three drops of blood fell upon it. Then she gazed thoughtfully upon the red drops that sprinkled the white snow, and said, 'Would that my little daughter may be as white as that snow, as red as that blood, and as black as this ebony windowframe!' And so the little girl really did grow up; her skin was as white as snow, her cheeks as rosy as the blood, and her hair as black as ebony; and she was called Snowdrop.But this queen died; and the king soon married another wife, who became queen, and was very beautiful, but so vain that she could not bear to think that anyone could be handsomer than she was. She had a fairy looking-glass, to which she used to go, and then she would gaze upon herself in it, and say:'Tell me, glass, tell me true!Of all the ladies in the land,Who is fairest, tell me, who?'And the glass had always answered:'Thou, queen, are the fairest in all the land.'...
