Bibliography / ReferenceIntroductionHaving unyielding to produce a childrens book as part of my Degree course, I initi exclusivelyy considered physical composition a contemporary version of one of the old folk or fairy tales, possibly a story by Hans Christian Andersen or a tale collected by the Brothers Grimm. I narrowed my selections and dogged tentatively on a reworking of the clean folk tale nose candy White and the Seven Dwarfs. I immediately tried to blank all thoughts o f Happy, Dopey, Sneezey, Bashful, Sleepy, Grumpy and Doc, only this proved harder than expected. How do you go about renaming, individualising and illustrating characters that are so unwaveringly ensconced in the memories of children all over the world? Disneys monopolising of the fairy/folk tale genre and mass marketing of the characters as toys appeared to limit my options of adapting the nose candy White story to...a. Mocking the Disney version in the tale itself.orb. Radically departing from the original story and imagery....both of which seemed quite appealing.I finally decided on a subtle combination of both options, but refractory to look further into Disneys domination and desecration of folk tales, myths, fables and classic childrens literature.The Death of the Seven DwarfsOn a high discernible between Brugg and Waldshut, near the Black Forest, seven dwarfs lived together in a small house. Late one evening an attractive young grouch daughter, who was lost and hungry, approached them and requested shelter for the night. The dwarfs had only seven recognizes, and they fell to argumentation with one another, for each one wanted to give up his bed for the fille. Finally the oldest one took the girl into his bed. Before they could fall asleep a peasant woman appeared before their house, knocked on the door, and asked to be let inside. The girl got up immediately and told the woman that the dwarfs had only seven beds, and that there was no room there for anyone else. With this the woman became very angry and accused the girl of being a slut, thinking that she was cohabiting with all seven men.
