He turned his glance to the castle and there, sitting in front of the entrance, was a young maiden, white as snow…” I found this passage thrilling because it was the first time I read about Snow White in a book. I remember as a child watching the movie “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, but reading it gives you many differences and similarities. As do many other stories.
