This is very true. While not exactly a fairy tale, I was shocked when I read The Wizard of Oz. So different and much creepier than the movie! (i.e. The Tin Man had an enchanted axe that chopped off all his limbs, and they were later replaced by tin parts.)


Yep. I still have that book. I think there should be a film version that follows it all the way because it's really good. "Return to Oz" was somewhat close (in terms of darkness.)
