Snow White: Can she really sing? Yes. Yes, she can.

From Iceland in mid-1800s translation

When Walt Disney took a chance by creating and producing "Snow White" as a full-length animated movie, it was a true leap of faith. Fortunately for him, "Snow White" was successful and this sweet version has continued to be so.

Ever Sweet

But, this was the purged, cleaned-up, sanitized Snow White.  Brothers Grimm collected many tales, all brutal. Snow White, in her many guises, dates back to mid-1500s. The Grimms wrote much about her, publishing these in 1853 (?). 

I submitted my own version of "Snow White" for a competition for "Sisters Grimm", an anthology of tales. All of the anthology is written by female authors and will be published as a Ubook. This should be released around Halloween this year.

My submission, "Dark and Light, Black and White", was not accepted (Oh, well). It is a tale of darkness and evil, where Snow White has to be more than a pretty girl singing in the glades.

In the coming two weeks, I'll be posting this in four chapters. I sure hope that you'll stick with the chapters, as some are gruesome in the battle of good versus evil.

Snow White "kicks butt", as recent generations say.
