Snow White

Once upon a time there was a castle in a wild place… So begins this superb retelling of Snow White. A happy couple give birth to a beautiful daughter but the mother is lost in childbirth and the king in his grief marries a woman consumed with pride and a vile, jealous temper.

As she ages only to see her stepdaughter growing in beauty, an evil plan hatches itself in her mind.

A gem of a book where words and images work together perfectly. Poole’s retelling has the hypnotic poetry of the best fairy stories and combines with Barrett’s stunning imagery to draws you into an otherworldly realm where shadows move and spirits whisper. Filled with brooding atmosphere and beautiful artwork, this book is a real gift.
