  Love In Vein II
It was winter, when fresh food is a dream of warmth and sunlight; but I had strings of whole apples, cored and dried, hanging from the beams of my chamber, and I pulled an apple down for her.
Winter is the time of hunger, of snow, and of death; and it is the time of the midwinter feast, when we rub the goose-fat into the skin of a whole pig, stuffed with that autumn's apples; then we roast it or spit it, and we prepare to feast upon the crackling.
The snow was falling as they carried me—two men at each hand, two men at each leg—utterly exposed, and spread-eagled and cold, through the midwinter crowds, and brought me to this kiln.

 "Snow, Glass, Apples: the story of Snow White" by Terri Windling
Snow White, too, is a mirror -- a reversed mirror of the queen, reflecting all she is not.
Snow White (who was drawn as a blonde at one point) is wide-eyed, giddy, and childish, wearing rags (Cinderella-style) at the start of the film, down-todden but plucky.
Snow White's pedigree beauty and class origins assure her salvation, not her housekeeping skills.) Although the film was a commercial triumph, and has been beloved by generations of children, critics through the years have protested the sweeping changes Disney Studios made, and continues to make, when retelling such tales.

 Snow, Glass, Apples
The stallholders at the fair were afraid of the forest folk; they would nail their wares to the bare boards of their stalls -- slabs of gingerbread or leather belts were nailed with great iron nails to the wood.
Then I cast a glamour on the apples (as once, years before, by a bridge, I had cast a glamour on myself), that they were, beyond any doubt, the most wonderful apples in the world; and the crimson blush of their skins was the warm colour of fresh blood.
The snow was falling as they carried me -- two men at each hand, two men at each leg -- utterly exposed, and spread-eagled and cold, through the midwinter crowds; and brought me to this kiln.

It was winter, food not as fresh as in the summer warmth and sunlight; but I had ripe apples, brought that day from Clark's farm, resting in a bowl by the sofa, and I pulled an apple from the top of the pile for her.
Outside, the snow fell, covering the footprints of the murderers, covering her small body in the forest where it lay.
I buried the bowl in the earth as the Chief had instructed me. Then I examined the apples and found that they were, beyond any doubt, the most wonderful apples in the world; and the crimson blush of their skins was the warm color of fresh blood.
