MoreIn the great tradition of stories for all ages, Peter Lawrence retells the classic tales of The Brothers Grimm for a smart 21st Century audience. Like the stories of Mark Twain, Hans Christian Andersen, Rudyard Kipling, and James Thurber, these stories are treasured by kids who read them by themselves, by parents who read to their kids, and by grownups who love a deliciously funny story with a twist on a familiar theme.
The first in the Smart Kids Studio 21st Century Grimms' series, THE PRINCESS FORMERLY KNOWN AS SNOW WHITE is a radical retelling of the Grimm Brothers' classic. It is a 21st Century fairy tale for smart kids and cool adults.
The Princess Formerly Known As Snow White is a very contemporary take on Snow White, in which a vacuous male model type seeks a stereotypical, usual sort of princess.
In this version, however, Snow White is anything but stereotypical. The Smart Kids account maintains the Grimm Brothers' macabre sense of humor but presents it in a hip, laconic style.
Snow White is, like the girls who read her, smart, tough, and cool. Cutting, satirical, funny and punny, The Princess Formerly Known As Snow White is a Fairy Tale for children and adults.
Written by Peter Lawrence and illustrated by the incomparable Alex Nino, THE PRINCESS FORMERLY KNOWN AS SNOW WHITE is the first in the Smart Kids Studio 21st Century Grimms Series.
If you love this story, be sure to read LITTLE RED: THE WOLF'S STORY, the second in the series. And watch - there will be eight more 21st Century Grimms' published soon!
