   Have you ever read the unexpurgated unedited un-Disneyfied versions of   
   our most common fairy tales, Jeanne?  They are full of blood and guts   
   and death.  Just as fairies are not really cute and harmless pink flying   
   things but frightening supernatural beings, so fairy-tales are moral   
   stories to educate children about the dangers of life.  In the past,   
   parents thought a few nightmares were a good sign that their children   
   were taking on board the lessons necessary to survive...
