"Snow White" is a German fairy tale known across much of Europe and is today one of the most famous fairy tales worldwide. The Brothers Grimm published it in 1812 in the first edition of their collection Grimm's' Fairy Tales.The fairy tale features such elements as the magic mirror, the poisoned apple, the glass coffin, and the characters of the evil queen/stepmother and the seven dwarfs. The seven dwarfs were first given individual names in the Broadway play Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1912) and then given different names in Walt Disney's 1937 film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. At the beginning of the story, a queen sits sewing at an open window during a winter snowfall when she pricks her finger with her needle, causing three drops of red blood to drip onto the freshly fallen white snow on the black windowsill. Admiring the beauty of the resulting color combination, she says to herself, "Oh how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony". Soon after that, the Queen gives birth to a baby girl who is as white as snow, has lips red as blood and has hair as black as ebony. They name her 'Snow White'(Wikipedia)

""Would that I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony.""The iconic story of the beautiful Snow White and her eventual triumph over a particularly evil Queen is filled with colors and their powerful symbolism, and in this version – illustrated by Beth Livings in 1937 - the colors are strong and saturated, and the illustrations are rendered in a flat, almost naïve style. They are beautiful yet straightforward, and thus mesh well with this abridged version of the Grimm tale.
