Book About:
The brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm assembled a collection of German folktales known as Grimm’s Fairy Tales. These tales were collected from folklore and oral traditions, and among them is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. One of the most well-known tales in the book is that of Snow White (German: Schneewittchen). It relates the tale of Snow White, a lovely princess who is oppressed by the Evil Queen, her envious stepmother. Snow White escapes the queen’s attempts on her life thanks to the protection of seven dwarfs. The story’s themes include innocence, envy, and the victory of good over evil.
In addition to Snow White, the Brothers Grimm’s collection includes other well-known fairy tales, such as Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood. These stories have become foundational works in Western fairy tale literature.
