    call number: Fic

    This book is strong in story and language.

    Summary:
    Based on the fairy tale of Snow White and the 7 Dwarves (not the Disney version), the story revolves around Queen Arpazia and her daughter, Coira.

    I would recommend this book!

    Why?
    This adaptation of Snow White is another of the Fairy Tales Series from editor Terri Windling. It is beautifully written, full of stark contrasting images (red blood on white snow, white snow in the black woods). Yet another book in the series I was reluctant to put down!
