There is a book you can buy at Amazon called ‘The Juniper Tree’. It contains 27 tales from Grimm translated by Lore Segal and Randall Jarrell, and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. These are the original versions, so don’t expect Disney. I enjoyed each one of the stories.

Verse 2 is a new one, but far more interesting than verse 1!

I guess they don’t make nursery rhymes like they used to.

I’m scared of fire so I always got nightmares from this.

I agree with Dr. Toon, the original Grimm fairy tales were downright gruesome!

Brian, brilliant animation. Looks very Tim Burtoniesque, fitting the theme perfectly.

I have a fascination with the original (or oldest known version) of nursery rhymes.

“Ring around the Rosy” is about the black plague. Gives a new meaning to “… all fall down.”

Thanks Margueritem! That sounds like a must have book.
