### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Tim Burton-esque artwork and a powerful, fearless, princess.
  

*by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016*

So this book is an incredibly fast reader. Finished it in under an hour. But damn, it's definitely a unique spin-off. The story itself ventures off into the journey of Snow White. Her wedding is about to take place and a few of the dwarves set off to collect some items pertaining to her celebration. While in town they hear word of a curse spreading throughout the country that sets those sticking around into a deep sleep. Once coming back, they pass off their new knowledge to Snow and she decided postpone the wedding to find the source of the curse in hopes of defeating it before it spreads even further. So unlike your typical Snow White, she pretty much changed herself into a Joan of Arc type figure and sets off fearlessly. Won't give anymore details, but clearly the sleeping curse is where the Sleeping Beauty comes into play and let's just say things are rather unexpected. If this was a full blown out novel, I can only imagine the details and story progression they could have played with. Even so, it's set out like your typical fairy tale. But it is very dark. The illustrations are beyond beautiful and really they contributed to my liking of this. If you're into fairytales or into the macabre, you will not be disappointed. Truly unique!

Gaiman never fails to craft a perfect tale. This fantastical mix of fairy tales spun into a Gaiman gem is marvelous. The illustrations are absolutely perfect. BUY THIS BOOK!

    Snow White versus the Zombies
  

*by E***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015*

Neil Gaiman joined with illustrator Chris Riddell to produce this novelette.  I would have opted for a bit more text, but the illustrations (mainly black and white) are quite interesting, and I couldn't help thinking this would make a great coloring book.  The figures in the pictures are just begging to be colored in.In the original 'Snow White' story there are seven dwarfs, but here we have only three.  Snow White is about to marry her prince and is having second thoughts while being fitted into her wedding dress, when her old friends show up and inform her of a plague that is rapidly approaching her kingdom (Snow White is now a queen).  People are falling asleep while performing their everyday chores (milking cows, waiting on tables, etc.) and nothing seems to be able to wake them.  The main sleeper is a princess who was cursed into sleep 70 years ago after she pricked her finger on a spindle, so the Queen postpones her wedding and chucks her disappointed princie under the chin.  She armors-up and sets out with her three height-challenged companions to wake the sleeping princess.One very modern touch is the presence of, for lack of a better term, I'll call zombies.  They attempt to prevent the companions from completing their journey to the rose-bound castle.  Neil Gaiman also adds a few interesting twists to his fairy-tale-combo ending, which I am honor-bound not to reveal in this review.  I liked them but fans of the Disney movies might experience a few qualms.
