The New Fairy Tales - Snow

Copyright © 2010 of James Pettis, III

Snow is the third fairy tale in The New Fairy Tales Series. It is taken from and based on the original fairy tale Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs by Brothers Grimm in 1823. I have enjoyed coming up with this idea very much because it is a great fairy tale. I have watched several versions of Snow White and they all have inspired me. I absolutely love Snow White and I love working on an adaption of my own.

Isabelle is a Queen that wants nothing more than a king to call her own. Isabelle is also an evil witch and has a looking-glass mirror that tells her what she wants. When Isabelle spots Theodore in the looking-glass, she uses her powers and kills his wife after she gives birth to their daughter, Snow. Theodore wonders in wilderness with the baby to find shelter and collapses, but is rescued by Isabelle whom he then marries and becomes her king. As the years go on, Isabelle kills any woman that may pose a threat to her title of being "Fairest of Them All." But as Snow grows older, she begins to blossom and get the attention of a Prince named Tyler that visits their kingdom. Isabelle becomes envious of Snow and wants the handsome young Prince Tyler to herself. Isabelle tries with all her power to kill Snow and get the Prince to fall for her all leading up to her final plan of evil... the poison apple. Enjoy a classical fairy tale told in this new updated version of Snow White.

Now, my version of Snow White is a little gorier than the original. It also has a different plot from the original also as far as the evil queen killing Snow's mother and other women that pose a threat to her. It's also a little different because Isabelle wants the Prince to marry her instead of Snow. I love this idea a lot and I hope that others will too. Stay posted for more info and short stories about Snow.
