the Grimm brother actually collected the mouth to mouth tales that were told between the people. The Theorie is that must of these tails are not meant as a fairytale but more as a lesson for kids.

You gotta remember that Grimm's brothers were anthropologists, philologists, folklorists and linguists, their goal wasn't to create the best stories for children or even find an "original" version but to write down and analyse existing folkloric stories of their time and region

Took a fairy tales class as an elective in college, and the book we used was amazing. Each unit was effectively "here's the fairy tale you know ... and here's the dozens of variants and relatives of the tale you know, all placed in their historical context."

I remember in 6th grade for an assignment me and some of my friends had to act out the story of Ye Xian, the fish was my favorite part because one of us had to lay on the floor and pretend to be a fish and then pretend to get eaten

fun fact, in college I wrote a paper for I think world civ talking about Rhodopis, Ye Xian, and Perreault's Cinderella, and how Perreault could have encountered the earlier stories for them to influence his version.

I had the baba yaga version where the Cinderella character gets a skull from the witch that burns her family to death then starts spinning wheat to gold and meets the prince... it was a weird one to be honest

Brothers Grimm is to fairy tales what CW is to Archie Comics (Riverdale)

In general, we should stop applying our modern logic of originality towards "folklore", like myths and fairtytales
