The New Fairy Tales (Revised) - Rose Red

Copyright © 2011 of James Pettis, III

Rose Red is the tenth and final fairy tale of the revised series, The New Fairy Tales. it is the same as Rose Red from my original series The New Fairy Tales. 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 Joseph. Prince Joseph has been cursed by a group of seven evil dwarfs known as Envy, Lusty, Greedy, Vanity, Gluttony, Slothy, and Wrathy. Prince Joseph 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.


This idea was very fun to come up with and I hope that others will like it. Stay tuned for more about Rose Red.
