In 1963, a German writer published "The Truth About Hansel and Gretel," claiming to have discovered an archeological site, old bones, and some very burnt gingerbread. The tale was a hoax, but it gripped the world, and the whole incident reveals the cultural significance of fairy tales, even to adults.
