Snow White and Rose Red by Patricia C. Wrede

4.0

Snow White and Rose Red is an interpretation/retelling of the original Grimms' fairy tale. Each chapter has a short snippet from the text that inspired/correlates with it. The story (and perhaps the original) was far less depressing than I was expecting. They are similar to each other, but both bear no resemblance to Disney's version-- other than, they all feature a girl by the name of Snow White and at least one dwarf. The book itself had a very slow start. I wasn't all that interested until the bear appeared, but by the end, I enjoyed it.

[Edit] Apparently, 'Snow White and Rose Red' and 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' are distinct Grimms' stories, that confusingly, have protagonists with the same name.
