Snow, Glass, Apples
Wednesday, 08 September, 2004
Neil has put up a link to a photographic interpretation of his Snow White retelling, “Snow, Glass, Apples”. I then thought briefly about blogging something about rewriting fairy tales (or fairy tales in general and my obsession with them) but at the moment I cannot organise my thoughts into any sort of coherence on the subject so it will have to wait, germinating in the darkness in the back of my head, for another time. But do have a look at the site—I believe it does the story justice (and the story is quite a horrible one; people really seem to have it in for Snow White. Perhaps the Disney version had something to do with it.)Posted in: The Arts

You’ve inspired me - I was struggling to think of what to blog, but now I think I’ll put up my Year 11 rewriting of Rapunzel as a feminist story of escaping the masculine patriarchy. Awkward puns and obvious literary device usage abounds.
Last year I bought a Routledge edition of Complete Brothers Grimm fairy tales - paperback, with a delicious purple matte cover. Some of the stories are WIERD.
Is that the edition edited by Jack Zipes? He charts the editing process that the Grimm brothers took—how various “unsavoury” elements were eventually edited out or transformed to be more Christianised.
I really must blog more on this subject later.
Or even WEIRD, Deb.
