Little Snow White

From Grimm's Fairy Stories, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This is a retelling of "Little Snow White," one of the best-known fairy tales collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early nineteenth century. The Grimm brothers recorded folk tales from across Germany, preserving stories that had been told aloud for generations. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story explores jealousy, kindness, and the triumph of goodness over spite. It is worth reading because it shows how vanity can destroy a person, how small acts of mercy matter, and how love and loyalty overcome harm.
