The Darkside of Fairy Tales ATC:Hansel and Grethel

I don't know how many have noticed but if you read the true fairy tales they can be very dark and almost scary (well to a child anyways). I find this very interesting. Times have changed. We seem to baby our kids now. We try and let them only see all the good things and never the bad. They see the world in Rose colored glasses. But we all know that the world can be a cruel and terible place at times. That seems to be what the message is that these fairy tales tried to get across. I'm am not saying that this should be the way that you bring your child up, but I am only giving you something to think about. So in honor of these great fairy tales I will host a series of ATC swaps that feature a different fairy tale. If you are looking for cutesy fairy tale ATC swaps you might not want to do these. These will be the real fairy tales and those can be pretty dark.

The first ATC will be the classic Hansel and Grethel from the Grimm's fairy tales.
