Summary: The setting of this twisted fairy tale of Snow White is New York in the 1920s influenced by the Jazz Age. The original story can easily be recognized, but the characters are quite different, for instance, the tabloids call Snow White’s stepmother the classiest dame in New York, and Snow White finds work singing with seven jazz-men. The illustrations are typically art deco influenced.
Suitable for students in years: 5-10
