Once upon a time a queen had a little daughter called Snow White whose skin was as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony wood. Everybody knows the rest of the story, but the Brothers Grimm didn’t always get all of the details right: Snow White was hardly a damsel in distress, she had her own magic. Those dwarfs didn't take pity on Snow White, she Charmed them into helping. The evil queen wasn’t jealous of Snow’s beauty, but of her powers. And Prince Charming?
