Rose Red is the tenth and final tale in The New Fairy Tales Series. It is loosely based on Snow-White and Rose-Red by Brothers Grimm in 1832.
Rose Red is a young woman that lives in a cottage in the woods with her mother. Rose Red is a huge dreamer and has always dreamed of being a princess and marrying a handsome prince. Rose Red's mother has been her spiritual guide all her life and tells her to never give up on her dreams. But one day, Rose Red's mother gets very sick and dies, leaving Rose Red. She then feels helpless and alone, no longer knowing what to do. Until one day, a bear stumbles upon her cottage and reveals himself to be a prince named James. Prince James has been cursed by a group of seven evil dwarfs known as Envy, Lust, Greed, Vanity, Gluttony, Sloth, and Wrath. Prince James was cursed to be a bear by day and a handsome prince by night. The Prince begs Rose Red to help him break the curse and in return he will marry her. Join Rose Red as she goes on a new journey to help the prince and battle the magical evil dwarfs.
My version of Rose Red is a little more like an evil version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (as far as the seven drawfs and them being evil). The idea of the seven dwarfs came to me immediately that they should represent the seven deadly sins (which really got me excited). This idea was very fun to come up with and I hope that others will like it. Stay tuned for more about Rose Red.
