Sad fairies

Like others have said, these stories are not what we though them like when we were little children. Some of them even seems nothing at all like something for children. There were a time when I even questioned Anderson's work. However, later as I went on reading, my opinions for him changed. His ideas might be odd or improper for modern minds, but his writing are surely the most beautiful and powerful. Nowadays, we have many good stories for children, but seldom does the author has such powerful words like Anderson, which can easily touch the heart of a grown-up, let alone the heart of children. As we read his stories, we can easily feel the softness of the pleasure and the heaviness of the sorrow, even when he was writing nothing but natural views. Some stories might be brutal and bloody for us, but I believe no one would doubt that he had a delicate, sensible and the most tenderness heart.
However, there is still one question wondering in my mind: should I someday read those stories to my little ones?
