I've always loved story books. I bought Grimm's Fairy Tales for my own enjoyment and to read to my son. But after 1 or 2 fairy tales, it turned out that they were not very suitable books for young children. There is a lot of blood, evil, violence in fairy tales. One is gouging out the other's eyes. The other one throws the other into the well. Mother beheads her stepson, etc. Therefore, if you are going to buy the books for your child, read the books yourself first and definitely keep them away from young children.
As an adult reader, my approach is positive. It was very enjoyable for me to read the original versions of the fairy tales that we had heard, read and watched in modified versions. But I really didn't think I would encounter this much brutality. Fairy tales are generally very similar to each other. In other words, you can read the character who is a witch in one tale as a king in another. In one tale, the ax is glass, while in another tale it is tin. Unfortunately, this makes the reading process a bit boring. That's why I think it would be a good idea if you make the book a bedside book and read 1-2 bedtime stories. :)
