Trivia

General

• The title alludes to The Grimm Brothers' story of "Snow White" in which the vain queen says to her magic mirror every day:

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who's the fairest of them all?

The mirror always replies that the queen is the most fair, until one day the mirror says that her stepdaughter, Snow White, is the fairest in the land.
