So you're skirting the edges of the ad hominem attack now?

You didn't talk about what you claimed to be reviewing, but instead decided to parade out purported knowledge (neither proven, nor cited, nor able to be discussed in any way with your reader) about fairy tales generally. You did this at the same time that you seemed to display ignorance about what actually WAS contained in what you supposedly read. My grade for this review: F.
I guess when I get off work I could break out certain books out of boxes and then start citing if that would do, but why bother now? I made it quite clear in that final paragraph that I was shifting away from the Grimm version to note the variance in order to place the written version in a greater context that was to tie back into the introductory paragraphs about the dissemination of such stories over a period of centuries and countries. I even cited the AT-333 code for the story, or have you not bothered investigating that? Grimm's Fairy Tales is a decent-enough rendering of some stories, but it isn't necessarily the one that's most faithful to some of the older variations in the tales recorded in there. I believe that is quite relevant to discussing the stories, but I suppose some might disagree.
Hrmm...seems like some of the material I've read before is available on Google Books. I'll leave this little link that references the cannibalistic elements found in AT 333. Mind you that I do not buy the psychoanalysis that Duende later explores in relation to this tale.

Of course, the Grimms wanted to listen to how the people told the tales, too.

I think you need to modify your review.

I won't get into your debate with Tom. It looks like it is about to degenerate.
