White as Snow (Fairy Tale)

£5.96

white as snow - absolutely STUNNING book, mesmerizing and i loved how the seven dwarfs were portrayed. tanith lee is a fantasy legend.

Hypnotic and haunting writing - This is a really interesting take on the fairy tale of Snowdrop and her bitter mother. It focuses not only on the princess (Coira, in this version), but her mother as well, on the power of women and how they acquire power in patriarchal societies. It does get very weird during the last third, but Lee s writing is powerful and keeps you reading, even when the storyline becomes very strange indeed. Read for Lee s ideas and wonderful prose, even if you don t agree with her take on the story.

Wow! - first off i wanna make one thing clear. i m 13 years old and i ve read plenty of books that were more complicated then this one(even though this is a gr8 read)so there! anyways, this is a really good read and i reccomend it strongly.

White as Snow- WOW! - If you re here to by a book and have strolled across White as Snow listen to me now! It s a masterpiece! The review above stating it s a book for stupid adults obviously can t handle the real world and should stick to Harry Potter as I m 14 years old and yes this fairy tale may be hard hitting and shocking at times but life is sometimes, it s the truth, isn t it? I m a real Snow White fan and I love her to bits. Reading the story is great, you relate to the charaters and you actually (at one point) feel sorry for Arpazia (the wicked Queen)! You have to get this book, the plot is great! It s one of those rare stories that makes you sit down afterwards thinking bloody hell this is great ! Read it, Snow White before adapted into a child story was meant to be sensuous, ruthless, mysterious and full of witchery and trust me it s class! Tanith Lee has a gift, read it I dare ya! p.s. Hadz is one evil prince!

Rewriting Snow White forever - White as snow is a fantastic book, it draws on the original tale as well as mythology and fantasy to create characters unlike any you would find in Grimm. Lee addresses what we expect from fairy tale characters and turns it around, making them more real, human and exciting.
