looked up the ones I remember, and the first is The Tale of a Youth Who Set
Out to Learn What Fear Was:

The other, from the same book, is Bluebeard:

I'm sure there are more, but I thought these were unnecessary stories and
added no value to the books we read. Obviously, if you have a tv in the house
and watch anything at all on tv, even some of the commercials are no worse than
these, but I did not care for them.

Several months ago, there were a couple of stray comments on this group
about The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, and later, The Witch of Clattering
Shaws, both by the late Joan Aiken. I recently got around to reading
through the series of these books that start with the former. I would like
to write a lengthy review of what I read, but for now, let me just say that
I would only recommend the first book, and very few of the ones that follow,
with significant warnings about a few of them because of their gratuitous
violence content, which take the reader by surprise.
I'm bringing this up because we parents must be so careful in what we give
our children to read - just because an author does a superb job with one
book doesn't mean there isn't downright evil lurking beneath the surface. I
am not trying to be a fear-monger, and agree with what so many have said
here before, that we must read and ponder and critique with prayer, wisdom,
knowledge, and the Holy Spirit's gracious help.
I will try to work my way through these Fairy books, and will keep the
Bookroom updated as best I may, God willing.
If any of you can recall why any stories were bad, even if you can't
remember which one(s), that would be helpful to me, letting me know what to
watch for.
Thanks for your response, Michaele, and Michelle.
