Hi,

And then there are the tales collected by the Brothers Grim. Not the same thing at all. The ones I have read (all in translation) usually end with maiming, horror and/or death. They are dark tales with little light - usually cautionary tales intended to scare people into doing what others think is right.

That is why I asked.

(I have just seached my bookshelves and discovered that (of course) my copy is not here, but at the cottage, so I cannot verify my recollection or give the edition I have.)

My recollection of the Brothers Grim matches yours. I wasn't referring to happy endings, just to improbable fiction. Which they most definitely are.
