RE: Dark, Disturbing and Somewhat Horrible, the History and Origins of Nursery Rhymes #2: 🇬🇧 London Bridge is Falling Down 🇬🇧
Ha omg, I always knew that that rhyme had a dark underbelly... but a man entombed?! I did not see that one coming.
This is a really fun series - Have you ever read any of the original unabridged Grimm's fairy tales? If there was ever a more depressing series of tales where literally everyone dies that's it...
LOL! Glad that surprised you :). Pretty dark!
Surprisingly enough I've not read the unabridged version, but am of course very familiar with some of their classics tales, “The Frog Prince,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “Rapunzel,” “The Fisherman and his Wife,” and “Tom Thumb,” etc.
BUT... I did just hop on Amazon and bought a copy 😜
Oh man, there's you're next "ruin your childhood" post series right there! XD
You know me too well lol :)
