Snow White: Told by Christopher Boone

Snow White is a fairy tale. I do not like fairy tales because fairies do not exist. Mother used to read fairy tales to me when I was younger but not any more. I used to hate Snow White, because there is no just thing as a magic mirror and dwarves do not exist and these are all lies as they are not real. I hate lying and Mother used to say that this makes me a good person.

Snow White was a princess and was a very kind person who was caring and loving to all animals. Snow White lived in a castle which is a very big house which is usually situated on a hill with very high walls. I would love to live in a castle by myself as I could be alone for a long time and pretend I was the only person in the world. But I would also hate living in a castle as it would take a long time walking from room to room, and eventually I would get confused and lost and forget where my room is.

Snow White’s mother died just after she was born, my mother also died but because of a heart attack and not birth. Snow White’s father married another princess who became queen, and became Snow White’s stepmother. My father would never marry another woman again as he will forget mother, and then forget me. Snow White’s stepmother had a magic mirror which told the holder of the mirror the answer to any question. I don’t like this part as magic mirrors do not exist, and there will never be one.

And the mirror said, “You my queen are the fairest of all”.

But when Snow White turned seven years of age, the magic mirror said, “Queen, you are full fair, 'tis true, but Snow White is fairer than you."

And so the queen gets jealous and orders a huntsman to take Snow White into the woods to be killed. I don’t like this part as it involves violence, and I don’t think fairy tales should ...
