Blimey, Oleg - I was absolutely gripped by this tale of horror!
I remember some terrifying fairy tales - in Germany in my late teens my au pair kids introduced me to 'Max und Moritz' by Wilhelm Busch - a poem about the nasty tricks two small boys got up to to terrorise the neighbourhood - most of those featured, including M and M, came to a sticky end. And most of the early versions of tales by the brothers Grimm are the stuff of nightmares....!
Brilliant. I can see why it would scare the living daylights out of a child. It's had that effect on me NOW!
Great stuff

I've heard that German kids' tales can go pretty hardcore! And yes, the unabridged Grimm are pretty... grim and gory.
Spooky!
Eeeeek!!!
