Donkeyskin (aka Tatterskin, Tattercoats etc) has to be one of the more seriously disturbing fairy tales; attempted murder of your stepkids is one thing, but father/daughter incest is something else again. Of course a lot of them were considerably more violent and worrisome -- and real! -- than the bowdlerized Disney-sucrose-happy-ending versions so many of us started out on. Thank gods my mom gave me Hans Christian Anderson and Italo Calvino and The Juniper Tree etc to counterbalance it :) I'll have to check out Deerskin, sounds intriguing. Thanks for the suggestion!
