I knew that Grimms fairytales as we know them are not as grim as they originally were, but I did not know that it was one of the brothers who did much of the censoring, and did not know many of the original plot details. For instance, who would have thought that the evil stepmother was originally the evil biological mother? It also came to my mind that the history of these tales might reflect the decline of violence preached by Steven Pinker.
