Originally written by the Brothers Grimm, this classic fairytale has all the ingredients for a thrilling bedtime story that is characterised by its own key features such as the a magic mirror, the poisoned apple and the seven dwarfs.

However Snow White has fallen by the wayside because the Wicked Witch was deemed too frightening. A handful of parents won't read it to children because they feel the dwarf reference is not PC - one in 10 said the book should be re-titled 'Snow White and the Seven Vertically Challenged People'.
