The Tin Soldier.
Ah, forgot how it ended, oops. Definitely not Disney…Yes Evie it was a terrible ending…(for the soldier and the ballerina).
Sorry they melted and burned in the fire.
Evie is disgusted that a child would do that to his toys, Gruff can’t get over that the child has access to a real fire (not worrying at all…).

I haven’t read that one, but I know that I wouldn’t read Grimm’s Fairy Tales to my daughter for the same reason (when she was little).

I think they are fantastic and create questions and responses, always a good thing when that happens!

I completely agree with them. I Read that story I was little, and was somewhat disgusted.

Haha, oh no! I know I have a book of fairy tales that I wont be reading my kids anytime soon! Some of the villians do simply horrible things!

Oh no please do! They were more outraged than upset! You’d be amazed at your children’s response. Evie is adamant that if a girl had got hold of the soldier, she’d had never chucked him in the fire!

Don’t worry, I will someday! My 4 yo has a sensitive little soul and I’m afraid it would really upset him now. But I think in another year or two he will be old enough!

Yes, I remember being traumatised when I was a child. by that and other fairy tales when I was a child. My mum tried the “they’re together in death and still in love” ( heart in the fire), but I never bought that rubbish!
