My short story, "Snow White: My Story," is now available to read on my website in the featured story section. Have a wonderful read! It has humor, horror, and some twists. I have always loved fairy tales and Snow White has always been a favorite. I took the original tale and answered some questions that always bugged me-why did her stepmother want her heart? Why the hot iron slippers? Who were the dwarf folk really? Many who have only seen the Disney version of Snow White and most of the other film versions do not even know about the hot iron slippers that wicked stepmother was forced into as punishment. Well, original tales are not rated and the reader was quickly taught that being wicked has a price.
That's the thing-the fairy tale heroines were always put through a lot of hardship, grief, and terror-but in the end their goodness was rewarded and the evil was defeated! If only life were like that?
And the heroines are not passive-though I think they have been edited down the years. Well, enjoy my story and let me know what you think of it. Let's talk about our favorite fairy tales on Facebook.
