A cruel stepmother entranced by a magic mirror, a girl with a heart cut out by a huntsman, and seven dwarves who find and save her. You may think you know the story of Snow White, but this twist on the tale will leave you with a new perspective on what a heart can do and how poison can destroy us all.
Sophie is a much more resilient and inspiring figure than the usual depiction of Snow White. She has much more agency in her fight to survive to save not only herself, but her people. The step-mother is as wicked as ever, but how she became that way is painted with more understanding. Great for fans of fairy tales retold.
