Some Day Your Prince Will Come

THE TRUE SNOW WHITE’S DIARY


. . . or your princess. But you have to be  ready. And I ask myself, “How does it start? How does it happen?”

One morning, I am cuddling, cooing and babbling with my infant nephews and nieces. And, merely closing my eyes for a  brief moment, I find myself looking directly into the faces of bright young men and women, ready to take on the world, and turning to me to help answer all of life’s questions and guide them into adulthood.

As Master Elvwyn would say about young Snow White, “She’s got so much ahead of her and not much time for us.”

One question in particular is on the top of my oldest niece’s mind: how does one  find a good relationship? Is there a prince for her in this life? Oh boy, how does an old aunt answer such honest queries in a world where the old ways of “courting” and the young man meeting his girlfriend’s father at  the door, hoping to meet his approval, are hopelessly out of style, and  many young adults are now introduced as “my baby’s daddy or momma?” Continue »

Once Upon A Time

THE TRUE SNOW WHITE’S DIARY


Just as I thought it would, The True Snow White begins with the age old “Once upon a time . . .”

Most readers could probably not imagine another way to properly begin a fairytale, but Austrian author Harald Walter Azmann’s rendition that follows is anything but ordinary. His retelling of the classic Grimm Brothers’ Snow White delves deeply into the well-known character’s heart and soul, presenting a tale of vivid imagery and wisdom for young and old alike.

I always thought I knew the story before I read The True Snow White. From what I learned as a youngster and Disney’s cartoon version, I had her pegged as a sweet, innocent little girl: her father dotes on her, the dwarves love her, she cleans and bakes and sings with the animals, her prince finds her at last, and life just couldn’t be more perfect.

Dear Mr. Harald Walter Azmann,


I write to thank you and your readers for your generous donation to Betty’s Blue Angel, and specifically to the shower project that I have been embarking on at St. Vincent de Paul in Eureka.

We recently received your donation of $3,000 supporting our shower fund, which currently has a balance of about $126,000.

It’s your donation and others like it that are making this dream a reality. I am hopeful that Eureka’s homeless will soon have a place to shower and do laundry, improving their hygiene, health and self-esteem. I hope you and your readers take pride in this project, as you helped make it possible. Continue »

The Dark Side Of The Mirror

THE TRUE SNOW WHITE’S DIARY


The True Snow White provides us with what any solid, timeless tale should: a story that requires your full attention, grows with you as you mature, and allows you to question yourself and look at the world with different eyes as you proceed  through  life’s  adventures.

Thus, my current question takes me   to the other side of the Stepmother’s mirror: the dark one. What is truly evil? And what does the Dark Count represent in Harald Walter Azmann’s new rendition of the classic Snow White fairytale? As   one of his ingenious seven dwarves, Master Fyewyn, tells the young princess:

We’re not saying there’s no evil, and it’s extremely strong, but not eternal, for it can only cause destruction and finally destroys itself and all who are part of it! Their supposed advantage and their joy is only an illusion – for what has evil ever accomplished or created? Continue »

Now that I have had the opportunity to read all of The True Snow White, I am left with three distinct strands of thought. The first is that young children will absolutely love it as it stands on its own merits as a fairy tale. Continue »
