UNEDITED?

Yes, many of the current re-issues of classic fairy tales have been heavily edited of the "violence," "cruelty," and general "politically incorrect" aspects of the stories. (According to the PC editors, that is.)

I have a Grimms version from the mid-1970's that has not been severely edited. My son read the book when he was about 10. As far as I know, he hasn't turned into an ax-murderer because of his exposure.
