As I discussed back on December 19, 2011, in the post “How About a Nice Shiny Apple, Dearie?” fairy tales have never been more popular—at least according to recent Hollywood TV and movie trends—and nineteenth-century writers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (The Brothers Grimm) are the source of this mania.
Just how hot are fairy tales right now? Try two movie versions of Snow White, one of the Grimms’ most famous stories—both set for release this year! Mirror, Mirror debuts on March 16th; Snow White and the Huntsman opens on June 1st.
To introduce the classic tale to a new generation of readers and moviegoers, and to celebrate its 200th Anniversary appearance in the Brothers Grimm’s 1812 collection Children’s and Household Tales, we here at The ’Warp will be publishing Snow White as our first e-book-only title—a PDF download for the low price of $1.99.
And what an edition it is! Behind that great cover by designer Mat Postawa that you see here, you’ll find five full-color illustrations that were originally published in 1883. Check out the book’s product page for samples.
Great story and art, coupled with a great price? How can you say no to that? 😀
Snow White goes on sale February 28, 2012, from StarWarp Concepts.
