Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales: Sharing Joy and Sorrow
“There was once a tailor, who was a quarrelsome fellow, and his wife, who was good, industrious, and pious, never could please him.” Sharing Joy and Sorrow is another example of a not-so-child-friendly fairy tale. Domestic abuse and sleazy activity is packed into less than 200 words, illustrating that a description of the negativity of humankind does not have a minimum word requirement.
