That's right! Go look up the faery-tale, Snow White and Rose Red. You will see that the parallels are there. The dwarves were not quite Disney-like. The story itself is harsher, more historic feeling, and is much longer due to the fact that there are two faerytales of ours combined together in it.
I know you will enjoy reading The Brothers Grimm... Grimm... such a nice name! (Lapsing into Addamish babble..oh dear, it IS early in the morning here.. must...find...coffee.. [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
