In the Brothers Grimm version, the evil queen stepmother asks a hunter to take Snow White into the forest and kill her (this also happens in the Disney movie).

However, in the story, she asks him to also bring her back Snow White’s lungs and liver.

He can’t kill Snow White, so brings back a boar’s lungs and liver instead. 

The queen eats the lungs and liver, believing them to be Snow White’s.

Yuck.

In the book, the queen tries twice (unsuccessfully) to kill Snow White.

The third time, when the queen gives her the apple (just like in the movie), Snow White faints and can’t be revived.

She is placed in a glass coffin.

A prince comes and wants to take her away (even though she is still asleep, which is pretty weird).

The dwarves hesitantly allow it, and while she is being carried, the carriers trip, causing the poisoned apple to become dislodged from Snow White’s throat.

She and the prince, of course, get married.

The evil queen is invited.

As a punishment, she is forced to wear burning-hot iron shoes and dance until she drops dead.
