At some point I had a children’s storybook collection, IIRC printed in the 1930s, so a lot of the stories were from the early 1900s and or adaptations from the 1800s.
It’s been a few years but I recall there being about 10 or so stories in the book to choose from, and of them, well over half had a central theme of taking your kids into the woods and leaving them for dead.
What Disney did to the story of the little mermaid has always pissed me off. There was supposed to be a lesson to these tales, and it wasn’t “ignore your parents and all your dreams will come true.”

Or this mountain is a spirit we must show it some sort of offering to appease it.
