Despite the presence of one dwarf, this story is not related to the Brothers Grimm fairy tale " Snow White" that provided the basis for the 1937 Walt Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The modern German name of that heroine is Schneewittchen rather than Schneeweißchen. This story has little in common but the similar name of its fair-skinned girl.Krzyżanowski, Julian. Polska bajka ludowa w ukìadzie systematycznym: Wa̜tki 1-999. Wydawn. Polskiej Akademii Nauk, 1962. p. 137. Ruby tends to overdo things. It is also possible that she is the oldest out of the Rainbow Fairies, as she tends to care for the other fairies and is willing to protect them no matter what. Something terrible has happened," Ruby the Red Fairy tells Rachel and Kirsty, before she flutters them off to meet the Queen of the Fairies.

Nothing controversial (that I've seen, at least), nothing too scary- but lots of friendship, a little problem solving, and a whole lot of great practice at reading! Snow-White and Rose-Red" ( German: Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot) is a German fairy tale. The best-known version is the one collected by the Brothers Grimm (KHM 161). [1] An older, somewhat shorter version, "The Ungrateful Dwarf", was written by Caroline Stahl (1776–1837). Indeed, that appears to be the oldest variant; no previous oral version is known, although several have been collected since its publication in 1818. [2] Oral versions are very limited regionally. [3] The tale is of Aarne-Thompson type 426 ("The Two Girls, the Bear, and the Dwarf"). [1] Snow-White and Rose-Red are two little girls living with their mother, a poor widow, in a small cottage by the woods. Snow-White is quiet and shy and prefers to spend her time indoors, doing housework and reading. Rose-Red is outspoken, lively and cheerful, and prefers to be outside. They are both very good girls who love each other and their mother dearly, and their mother is very fond of them as well. Her twin sister is a beginner but she, too, loves the fairy books. She can't manage the chapter books yet but loves the few versions in the easy reader category.
