I have this old book that my grandma was reading stories from to my mom when she was a child and there is a lot of interesting stories. Now I'm reading them to my children.
For instance rapunzel is a sort of salad and the story has nothing to do with the Disney version, she is not a princess and her parents give her away to the witch as a payment for the father stealing a salad (rapunzel) from the witch. Is more of a moral story to teach girls to not get knocked up. The witch is not even that evil in the book. She wants to protect the child from the evil and corrupt world by keeping her in a tower. When she gets pregnant the witch kicks her out.
I hadn't heard of that one. Compared to some of the other stories that Disney sanitised, Cinderella's dead mother helping her seems rather tame.
