The English Department at the College of Education for Human Sciences - University of Basra organized a panel discussion on the terrifying, violent origins of ancient children's stories.
The episode aims to explain the violent origins of popular classic children's stories about real events written by the original writers.
The episode, presented by lecturer Najwan Jassim Hatem, discussed the nature of stories, the real reason behind them, and the real events written by the original writers such as the Brothers Grimm, Giambattista Basile, Hans Christian Andersen, and J.M. Barrie, who wrote them as bloody and frightening stories that are radically different from the current romantic version.
