Little Snow White

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

This reader retells "Little Snow White," one of the most famous fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, in Germany in the early nineteenth century. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story teaches children that jealousy and vanity harm the person who holds them, and that kindness and courage are rewarded. It is one of the world's best-loved tales, remembered for the magic mirror, the seven dwarfs, the poisoned apple, and the prince who wakes Snow White.
