In una notte buia e spaventosa

The stories feel less sanitized than traditional fairy tales, which makes them both exciting and a bit unsettling. I wonder what motivated that creative choice.

The tales definitely push boundaries, and I’m curious whether this was intentional to make the stories more memorable or if it might be too intense for sensitive readers.

The stories are funny but also gritty, which makes me wonder how children interpret these moral lessons. Do they see the humor or focus on the darker themes?
