Francesca Dell'Orto illustrates this adaptation of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's story, by Elena Krahe. The new queen and second wife to Snow White's father, is jealous of her step-daughter, a beautiful child. So, she decides to get rid of the child and charges a huntsman with the task of taking her into the forest to kill her. However, the man takes pity and does not obey his orders, instead he lets the child go. Snow White flees and by nightfall reaches a little cabin where seven dwarves live. Here she finds refuge. Unfortunately, her step-mother, bent on killing the child, disguises herself as an old-woman and almost achieves her aim. However, a prince manages to free her from the effects of the poisoned apple given to her by her step-mother and, returned to life, the young and beautiful Snow White marries the prince.
