The Elf Of The Rose
By Hans Christian Andersen
The title gave me the impression of sweet delicate things, but the tale is a rather grisly nightmare. There is betrayal, deception, murder, and violent revenge which seems to be touted as legitimate justice: a head for a head. It's a bit difficult this was ever considered a suitable story for children.
