Disney have just released an epic boxset featuring all 55 animated classics, it was an instant purchase!I also like to read the book before watching the movie, so this was a great opportunity to tick off so many great tales. Quite a few of them are also part of the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge.So first up is the one that started it all: Snow White.Everyone knows that basic story of this fairy tale, a jealous Queen is determined to kill her beautiful stepdaughter Snow White. Seeking sanctuary i...

I'll probably give 5 stars to almost anything that has Camille Rose Garcia's name on it. This edition is simply stunning!

Who doesn't love an old fashioned fairytale? Admittedly a little more gruesome in its original version, but I loved reading this classic!My favorite actress portraying Snow White in motion picture...I also love the cover art of this particular edition...

This book would get five stars for me for the illustrations alone. This book is a work of art. Page-after-page of stunning, frame-worthy pictures. I almost want to buy a second copy so I can tear it apart and put it on my wall. The story is one most of us know. Snow White is chased into the woods by her Evil Step-mother, presumed dead and goes to live with seven little men (bit shady!). I don't think I had ever heard this version though. Snow White has multiple attempts (and successes) made on l...

Love Love Love these editions. That are so pretty, illustrations are amazing. There's also Alice in Wonderland and Cinderella. Totally recommend.

A story that is too short but entertaining and the truth is that I prefer this version than Disney's.I liked the ending they gave to the mother of Snow White.

The telling of "Snow White" gets a very exciting makeover courtesy of Camille Rose Garcia's dazzling artwork. Her work is resplendent in color with endless drabs of vertical stalactites framing each image. The typo work by Roberto De Vicq De Cumptich compliments her Goth meets Fleischer Brothers aesthetic beautifully.

I love this story but I can't help it, I want to shake Snow White sometimes for being such a simpleton. Didn't you get it the first time that this bad lady was after you?! Okay, now I feel better. That aside, I love this story and the Dwarfs fierce loyalty to her. All the variations which have been over the years are great too.

Here are the characters in this book:- seven dwarf brothers who are roommates- an evil queen who is singularly obsessed with being hot- a talking mirror with magical powers- a hunter who resorts to trickery when his job description includes “killing children”- a prince whose idea of marriage material is “beautiful and asleep”- a seven year old who’s pretty.Of all those characters, kind of a bummer that the last one is our main character, but we take the wins with the losses in this life.I have b...

Seriously: Snow White is the silliest character I've ever met. How could you be so naive despite all dwarves' warnings? And MOST OF ALL : how could you consent to marry someone you knew for a second only because he tells you that he has feelings for you? Are you that narcissic? (that prince is also very dumb since he never talked to her - he was just barely looking at a dead mannequin?!) Ew. Next.

I have ONE question.Which is: Why in bloody hell did the Prince kiss a comatose/dead girl?Like WTFalso: ΅When she's poisoned by her evil stepmother, the Prince comes along and kisses her to wake her up. Snow White was thought to be 14 in the film, and the Prince was 31.¨ << Thatś just the Disney Filmuhh, SHEŚ ALSO FUCKING SEVEN IN THE ORIGINAL STORY,WHA-Itś a fairy tale, what else can I say?

Nowadays, an innocent, virginal girl moving into a cottage and cleaning/cooking/etc for seven older unmarried men would raise so many red flags...It's a overall enjoyable fairy tale, with a lot of creative retellings and twists done by other people.

Snow White, Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm GrimmThe story of an evil queen determined to do away with a girl--with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony--who threatens the queen's quest to remain the most beautiful in her kingdom. "Snow White" is a 19th-century German fairy tale which is today known widely across the Western world. The Brothers Grimm published it in 1812 in the first edition of their collection Grimms' Fairy Tales. It was titled in German: Sneewittchen (i...

Man, I just have to say: storytelling has greatly and magnificently progressed over the centuries. Reading some the the Brothers Grimm tales has me appreciating the literature I get to experiences today.

I own almost 500 books, and this is by far the most beautiful (you don't know how hard it was not to write The Fairest of them All'. Puns).Every illustration and piece of typography is a work of art. A gothic, creepy work of art.I'm not sure I've ever read the original story before, I'm obviously more familiar with the Disney version, because this... this is messed up. The kids in the Grimm family must have had some issues.

Mom always tells me stories about how I liked movies when I was a kid. An Snow White was one of the movies she had to hide from me. Watching a movie a lot of times is common for kids and it's the time when the parents can relax. Well, not for my parents. For me Snow white was one of the most sad movies. I would cry all the time and scream "OMG! That is so sad! She is alone in the forest! How poor" After reading it again, after my own "character development" from my own story, I still feel sad.

Click here to watch a video review of this book on my channel, From Beginning to Bookend.In this simple yet gruesome tale by the Brothers Grimm, the beautiful princess Snow White must contend with a jealous stepmother who longs to be the fairest in the land. First published in 1812, this German fairy tale is not the bright and playful, sing-song tale produced by Walt Disney Productions in 1937. This story of the "child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood of the window fra...

I love these editions and I want to buy more! The artwork is interesting, spooky and beautiful. I never realized Snow White was 7, but I guess that's because I've only watched the Disney movie lol

First of all, Snow White is an idiot. Dude, STOP OPENING THE DAMN DOOR!But I love the Brothers Grimm's stories and it was a pleasure to read.The artwork is so eerie, a little creepy, and yet gorgeous. A ton of thanks to my best friend for gifting me this much-desired copy of the book.
