Kowai Dowa (Haru Ki Horror Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Everyone knows the world's fairy tales. But do you know the true stories depicted only in the original? This book contains eight of the first editions of Grimm's fairy tales, including "Snow White," "Red Riding Hood," and other tales that were revised for children in later generations, seven allegorical and suggestive tales, and the original version of "Pinocchio" with its cruel ending. The author, a leading cryptanalyst, unravels the truth behind each fairy tale. All stories are newly written.
