Books like Fairest of all by Serena Valentino
For anyone who's seen Walt Disney's Snow White, you'll know that the Wicked Queen is one evil woman! After all, it's not everyone who wants to cut out their teenage step-daughter's heart and have it delivered back in a locked keepsake box. (And even if this sort of thing is a common urge, we don't know many people who have acted upon it.)
Now, for the first time, we'll examine the life of the Wicked Queen and find out just what it is that makes her so nasty. Here's a hint: the creepy-looking man in the magic mirror is not just some random spooky visage-and he just might have something to do with the Queen's wicked ways!
In this book, we'll delve into the fascinating tale of the Wicked Queen, from her childhood in the Seven Dwarfs kingdom to her rise to power and the twisted motivations that led to her becoming the Wicked Queen as we know her today. From her childhood to her rise to power, we'll explore the reasons behind the Wicked Queen's wicked ways and uncover the truth about her motives. Whether you're a Disney fan or not, this book is sure to captivate you with its unique perspective and thrilling storyline.
