A sweet princess, an evil witch, a poisoned apple and a dastardly plan. Familiar fairy tale ingredients mixed in with a new sauce. Anne Lambelet's brew of suspense, humour, and stylized art bring this classic to modern times. Quick paced and straight to the action, readers will anticipate the witches moves as the story develops. The princess is given the poisoned apple and the witch watches from afar as her scheme spirals out of control and she gets a taste of her own medicine.
Short descriptions are provided for the nameless characters to draw more attention to their actions and the consequences thereof. This story assumes that readers already know the classic tale of 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' by the brothers Grimm but it's not a prerequisite. The illustrations are wonderfully detailed and playful especially when showing the witch collecting her rare ingredients. This new fairy tale ends with an old-fashioned moral. Recommended for ages 3+.
