Little Snow-White

A fairy tale from Grimm's Fairy Stories, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This is one of the most famous fairy tales collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, first published in the early nineteenth century. The Grimm brothers gathered traditional German folk stories and published them so they would not be lost. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The tale warns against vanity and envy, and it shows that beauty of character matters more than beauty of face. It has inspired countless retellings and remains a cornerstone of the fairy-tale tradition.
