According to Frisian scholar Jurjen van der Kooi, in the Catalogue of Frisian Folktales, the tale type is also attested in Friesland, but the heroines are named Blauwoogje ("Blue-Eyes") and Bruin-oogje ("Brown-Eyes"). [12] In addition, Dutch scholar Theo Meder published a Dutch tale titled Rozerood en Lelieblank ("Rose-Red and Lily-White"), from a teller from Driebergen, Utrecht, who sent it in 1892 to linguist Gerrit Jacob Boekenoogen [ nl]. [13] [14]Philologist and folklorist Julian Krzyżanowski, establisher of the Polish Folktale Catalogue according to the international index, located a single Polish variant of type 426, Narzeczony niedźwiedź ("The Bear Groom"). However, Krzyżanowski indicated that the tale was a literary reworking that excised the dwarf and introduced other characters. [17] Other areas [ edit ] French scholars Paul Delarue and Marie-Louise Thèneze, establishers of the French folktale catalogue, reported only two variants in France of tale type ATU 426, Les deux fillettes, l'ours et le nain ("The Two Little Girls, the Bear and the Dwarf"), which they considered to be retellings of the Grimm's story.

Then one day, they meet the dwarf once again. This time, he is terrified because the bear is about to kill him. The dwarf pleads with the bear and begs it to eat the girls. Instead, the bear pays no heed to his plea and kills the dwarf with one swipe of his paw. Instantly, the bear turns into a prince. The dwarf had previously put a spell on the prince by stealing his precious stones and turning him into a bear. The curse is broken with the death of the dwarf. Snow-White marries the prince and Rose-Red marries the prince's brother. Meder, Theo (2000). De Magische Vlucht: Nederlandse volksverhalen (in Dutch).

Nothing controversial (that I've seen, at least), nothing too scary- but lots of friendship, a little problem solving, and a whole lot of great practice at reading! The Rainbow Magic books are issued by Scholastic Inc. in the United States. Some series and individual book titles vary in the Scholastic editions. There are also colored Rainbow Magic books for younger readers, which are also published by Scholastic.The Shadow of the Bear by Regina Doman – 1997 novel based on the tale and set in contemporary New York City. Admitted by the publishers to be the most popular fairy, she is featured in her own Choose Your Own Magic activity book. Despite the presence of one dwarf, this story is not related to the Brothers Grimm fairy tale " Snow White" that provided the basis for the 1937 Walt Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The modern German name of that heroine is Schneewittchen rather than Schneeweißchen. This story has little in common but the similar name of its fair-skinned girl. Bolte, Johannes; Polívka, Jiri.

It is also possible that she is the oldest out of the Rainbow Fairies, as she tends to care for the other fairies and is willing to protect them no matter what. There are so many Rainbow Magic Fairy books, all written under the same made-up author's name, all with similar themes. They seem to all go about like this: two friends are doing some typical childish activities like camping, celebrating a holiday, etc when some bad fairy messes things up, so the title good fairy joins up with the girls to save the day. Every one I've read was benign at worst, and had positive messages of helping others at best. I find the writing to be pretty awful, but for the girl who's just ready for chapter books, the series offers a lot to like.
