The last sentence of the lead section seems to imply that the Grimms sanitized the tales after Bruno Bettelheim published his psychoanalysis thereof. It would perhaps be better to rephrase ?

good point. at least, there should be a citing for how the Grimms themselves may have eventually sanitised their works, and a mention of which ones, perhaps? Stjohn1970 ( talk) 14:33, 15 April 2023 (UTC) reply

No mention of "Grimm's Law". Also each brother has a page so the links should be more visible. Exoir ( talk) 09:17, 4 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Grimm's law is mentioned in the Jacob Grimm article. This article is more of an overview about the two brothers, but I'll look into some of the sources and maybe add something here. Victoria ( tk) 21:17, 10 October 2023 (UTC) reply
