For our kids we managed to get a golliwog (took some time) and what was a lot of fun "Grimms Grimmest Fairy Stories" in an appropriately black cover. All the censorship from the Victorian times taken out and the original peasant stories as they were. The kids loved it and so did I. But they were pretty sad. Nothing though was as sad for me as Oscar Wilde's "The Happy Prince". I was in tears halfway through and the kids confused.
