The cover showed a crowd of folk, men and women garbed in clothing suggesting the days of yore. Two other men were carrying a dead dragon on a "stretcher" of sorts. I was enthralled and it became one of my favorite books. Later, I purchased the adult version and read "The Little Match Girl" (she died!!!) and other equally gruesome stories. The scales fell from my eyes as I realized how deeply sanitized the children's versions of those class stories had been.<br /><br />I just discovered this blog and am really enjoying it.
