Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Background of the authors/date of publishing
- The original story of Snow White is taken from a 19th-century German fairy
tale or folk tale, written by the Brothers Grimm. The German brothers known
for their various folk tales and stories, published ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ in 1812,
which features the tale of Snow White as story number 53. Since its
publication, the book has seen several of the original stories resonate to be
enjoyed in popular culture up to his very day. The Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales
are universally acknowledged as the inspiration for the fairy tales we enjoy in
book and film today. With various versions including film and pantomime, the
modern-day versions differ from Grimm’s tales slightly. Mainly, the modern-day
fairy stories are less dark than the originals, which involved more ‘grim’
themes.
