Snow White, Written by the Brothers Grimm and Illustrated by Momo Takano



Snow White. Written by the Brothers Grimm and Illustrated by Momo Takano was released a few years ago in 2011 in the UK (here's the UK link: Snow White) and in other languages in Europe. It still hasn't made it stateside, but that never stops me from sharing pictures, does it?

The cool palette for this book is quite unusual for the reddish Snow White. The emphasis here is on the "snow" element of her beauty and world. She wears red through most of the book, but her world is blue and green tones overall.

  1. I love the art. Though it is darker than the "disney" depiction of it, it is a must have for us literary addicts.
