WOMAN ISSUES. every single one of them has some kind of evil

**************** I think I mentioned that in the last six
months or so I've turned more towards nonfiction than
fiction. A few really bad novels helped. Anyway, one of the
nonfiction ones was Maria Tatar's THE HARD FACTS ABOUT THE
GRIMMS' TALES. A great book, with no-nonsense straight talk
about the tales, and some interesting conclusions. A lot of
those Disney movies are based on those tales.
Mr. Stansberry did a tip of the hat to those tales in his THE
CONFESSION. The protagonist's wife is writing a book on three
of the tales, at least one of them with an incest theme
buried in it.
