Snow White: A new kinder, gentler telling of a fairy tale classic - Tapa blanda

Gram's Fairy Tales presents a series of illustrated chapter books that retain the heart and characters, but not the violence, of the original Grimm tales. The stories are lyrical with touching and funny twists that make them as interesting for the adult reader as they are for children. This version of Snow White tells the tale of a contest with a grand prize of "A Wish Come True" and two top contestants who couldn't be more different: An amber diva who has devoted her life to the pursuit of physical perfection and a pale homemaker with a talent for domestic arts. They can't both win. Or... Can they?

Susan Meredith ("Gram") is a stepmother and grandmother. Her love of books led her to bring her granddaughters to various bookstores with the invitation to "choose whichever books they might like". However, in reviewing the books, especially the classic Grimm's Fairy Tales, "Gram" (as well as the parents) were concerned about the frightening images and evil characterizations. It was this reluctance to expose the children to "scary stuff" that inspired Ms. Meredith to rewrite the classic fairy tales in a style that is more positive, more whimsical, and more humorous; a style that her grandchildren refer to as "tickles and giggles."
