RE: Dark, Disturbing and Somewhat Horrible, the History and Origins of Nursery Rhymes #1: 🐭Three Blind Mice 🐭
The old, classic nursery rhymes, just like the old classic children stories, were often very cruel and basically the total opposite of the sugar coated happy ending disney crap they get today. Back then they showed the children from day 1 that the world is actually a cruel place and the end is not always a happy one. It was very interesting to read now also about the hystorical-political aspects behind it, thank you for that!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, please swing by next week for the next one. And you're right, classic children's stories are actually quite terrifying too :) Definitely a lot of material to work with :)
