A Chinese publisher has been forced to recall a collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales, notes the Telegraph, after mistakenly translating an erotic Japanese version of the stories.
From the story...
The edition of the children's book which hit the shelves in China in October included a reworking of the story of Snow White in which she romps with the seven dwarves.
Red-faced executives at Beijing Mediatime, the publishing house, said a mix-up had occurred when they could not find the original German version of the book to translate, and had turned to a Japanese version instead.
Around 150 copies of the book were sold in Hangzhou before complaints from customers led to the recall.
