Stephen King has been mellowing a lot in the most recent years of this century. I guess he must be surrounded by great-grandchildren who want stories that do not frighten them too much.

Victor Hugo wrote poems for his grandchildren. They were nice, funny, but did not have the frightening tone of Notre Dame de Paris nor the terrorizing tone of Les Misérables. They were just rhyming rhythmic poems that sounded nice in the evening on a very simple tone.

The two kids only push the witch into the furnace and lock the door behind her. And the witch hardly yells, does not curse, and does not even call for the Devil, Satan, to rescue her. And actually, this Belzebuth does not come to help her.

The two brats, in other words, have the last word and can even steal the witch’s diamonds, rubies, emeralds, gold, and a few other things of value. Come on, children, please select the witch in your neighborhood you want to torture and hassle, and go ahead, do it with gusto and passion. Witches deserve to die in exquisite suffering. And don’t panic if the w<itch reveals herself to be a wizard. Those beings very often seem to be hermaphrodites, like snails

Rewriting the Grimm Brothers is difficult, even for Stephen King.
