Everyone knows the story of Snow White, but the illustrations in this version are so stunning they should be framed.

Best part about fairy tales is Happy ending vibe.
Always the protagonist are good souls and antagonist are so evil that whatever you do, they wont stop till they die.
She tried to kill Snow White three times but all went in vain.
We also saw that Snow white didn't change even after being fooled so many times.
Which shows how she believed everyone around her to be good (or rather a positive outlook).
Like if we are good nothing can happen to us.
Sometimes it seems too far fetched in real life but the Fairy Tales are there to give us hope in times of Crisis.
That's the reason i love them and love to re-read them.

This is an unfair review of sorts and based entirely on the quality of reproduction of Burkert's illustrations.
I had been after a copy of this since I first saw Nancy Ekholm Burkert's illustrations and been swept away by her wonderful pen and ink alongside watercolour work. How you can really capture the beauty of Snow-White seemed beyond me but Burkert's plates in this retelling or just perfect.
Sadly, what is imperfect is the terrible quality of the reproduction by Square Fish which gives it an almost photocopy-like quality.
