The tale of Snow White can be traced to oral traditions of antiquity. Italian author Giambattista Basile recorded the earliest written version, which he titled “The Young Slave,” in 1684. In 1812, German folklorists the Brothers Grimm revised “The Young Slave” into the story of “Schneewittchen” (“Little Snow White”), which became the tale readers know today.
(Dorothy & The Wicked Witch of the West)

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was written by American author Frank L. Baum in 1900, told the story of young Dorothy and her friends. Numerous film and musical adaptations of Baum’s Oz series of books have popularized Dorothy’s adventure, securing her place as a fairy tale character.
