Snowdrop (or, Snow White)

Written by The Brothers Grimm

Narrated by George Newbern

In Snowdrop (or Snow White) a queen sewing by the window during a snowfall pricks her finger. Admiring the drops of blood on the snow, she wishes for a daughter as white as that snow, as red as that blood, and as black as this ebony window frame! The queen dies after giving birth to Snowdrop. The girl's stepmother, a vain and vindictive woman with a magic mirror, plots to eliminate Snowdrop, who grows more beautiful by the day. Snowdrop is left in the forest to die but takes shelter with seven dwarfs who become her protector when the evil stepmother learns she is still alive.

The Brothers Grimm

Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786- 1859) created some of the most iconic folk and fairy tales in the world. Well revered academics, philosophers, cultural researchers, and then celebrated authors, the brothers Grimm dedicated their lives to establishing the modern day study of folklore. Growing up during the rise of the Romantic movement, the brothers were among the first to capture and collect stories that have become some of the most influential of our time, such as Cinderella, The Frog Prince, and Rapunzel in their first volume of Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales).
