Those were terrifying stories, Wiggy, weren't they?  And the Grimm fairytales weren't much better.  When you think of a lot of the stories we were told, it's a wonder we ever slept at night.

My kids love Peter and the Wolf - but I must say I usually sit with them to listen to the music!

Then there was Danny Kaye with Tubby the Tuba - remember that one?   We loved it and I managed to find it again for my grandchildren!

Ah yes, Maggie - Hansel and Gretel.  Particularly where the witch had Hansel in a cage, fattening him up.  Surely this sort of thing wouldn't be considered suitable for children nowadays!
