Snow White: Illustrated Reinterpretation by Jana Haitarova (Illustrator & Author), Jacob Grimm (Author), Wilhelm Grimm (Author) uses a lightly modified version of Margaret Hunt's English translation of the Grimms' tale juxtaposed against illustrations that tell a parallel story. I recently discovered this newly published book and although I haven't seen the full book yet, what I have seen is very compelling and already qualifies as a favorite rendition of the tale for me. The dwarves are game pieces and a doll house is included, too. I'm sharing just a few of the 44 illustrations below.
Book description from the publisher:
Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs: Illustrated Reinterpretation (Grimm's Original Story)
This beautifully illustrated picture book offers a psychological retelling of Snow White, presenting the classic tale through a realist lens. Staying true to the original text by the Brothers Grimm, the story is uniquely retold solely through its illustrations, creating a dynamic interplay between image and text.
With a focus on the emotions of a young child, the book delves into the deeper layers of the narrative, encouraging readers to reflect on fantasy as a coping mechanism. Featuring 44 exquisitely hand-drawn watercolour illustrations, this book brings new depth and perspective to a beloved fairytale.
A perfect addition to any collection for readers who appreciate timeless stories reimagined with emotional and artistic insight.
