Description

Would that I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony.

The iconic story of the beautiful Snow White and her eventual triumph over a particularly evil Queen is filled with colors and their powerful symbolism, and in this version illustrated by Beth Livings in 1937 – the colors are strong and saturated, and the illustrations are rendered in a flat, almost naive style. They are beautiful yet straightforward, and thus mesh well with this abridged version of the Grimm tale.
