So. In a Fenzy. While listening to Faerie music. Yes. I was just tidying up my sister's kids' bookpile.
You know, strewn about. Several books ripped to shreds, their bepaged guts strewn across tiled floor dotted with the speckled rust of encrusted debris.
I found an antique. This Sixty year old book on Fairy Tales. So old the embossed painting on its cover is shattering with mold. It's oldest copyright and likely compilation was in the Twenties. This, its earliest and latest reprinting is from the Sixties.
It's got what seems to be the original Jack & Beanstalk where the giant had two heads. And one story where, on apparently a sidequest, the hero decapitates Lucifer Himself to present His head to a princess. These are the stories they don't hold back in. The olden Fairy Tales were people get fully Owned.
