"I still have the copy from my childhood, illustrated by Arthur Szyk. His illustrations emphasize the sad & creepy aspects of the stories in a way that gave me chills when I was a kid, and still kind of creep me out. I'm going to have to re-read my book, now that I've added it to my GR collection."

"Ok. I am pretty sure this is not the one I read, but the one I have is pretty old and probably not on here. I asked for a book of original fairy tales for Christmas one year and got this and could not have been happier. In it, there are a ton of unedited-for-Disney stories that range from pretty basic to totally bizarre. A favorite short one is "The Jumping Contest" in which a flea, a "jumping jack", and some other thing all have a contest to see who can jump highest. Whoever does gets to marry the princess. The jumping jack wins through some kind of cunning and even though I have no idea what he is, he gets to marry the princess. Huzzah! There are also some incredibly gory ones, including "The Rose Elf" in which an elf exacts revenge on a bad guy and includes a moderately graphic decapitation."

By Juan, Buenos Aires, Argentina

"¡Oh Hans, cuán ñoño eres! ¡Cuán simplísticamente moralino! ¡Cuán capaz de ahogar el más simple argumento con exclamativas!
Leí este libro hasta el final, porque me gusta conocer historias nuevas, y porque alguna de las viejas no las conozco en su formato habitual. Por ejemplo, La sirenita, que languidece como su protagonista hasta un final "redentor" que elimina cualquier fuerza dramática inicial.

Si hay un héroe en la comunidad escéptica, es el niño que grita "el rey está desnudo": la representación, dirían, de aquel que no se deja engañar por el discurso social y recurre a la evidencia para formar su opinión.

Pues bien, amigos, úsenlo así si quieren, pero sepan que para Hans, el niño dice la verdad PORQUE ES UN NIÑO SIMPLE, PURO Y NATURAL. No hay una pizca de racionalidad en este ni en ningún otro cuento. Y no se trata, por supuesto, de ser cuentos de hadas. Se trata de que HCA es de un romanticismo reconcentrado: la virtud de la inocencia, la pureza del amor, la frialdad de la ciencia y de la razón, y así hasta el hartazgo. Sí se burla a menudo de la pomposidad y la petulancia, pero el entorno de otros cuentos hacen que uno se cuestione fuertemente las razones.

Dejo el libro con la amarga sensación de conocer, ahora una de las líneas más ponzoñosas de nuestro inconciente colectivo, y temo pensar en la concepción de infancia que los impulsa. Aguante los hermanos Grimm."

"People forget that HCA's tales are often not for the faint of heart. They are used to the sanitized modern versions with the Hollywood endings. I am specifically recommending The Angel. As sad and unsentimental as they come. Very short. Very sad. I'm guessing that these are the 2 reasons it remains hard to find, not in most HCA compilations. Available for free online too. It's the teary sadness that makes it ultimately a happy story of hope and faith."
