Snow White in New York

I haven't read this book with my nieces yet, but I intend to. This is a pared down rewrite of the Snow White story (and we all know that story) set in the 1920s. Great artwork, and simple writing, perfect for kids who want a little thrill.

Happening across this book by chance, I was entranced by the image projected from the cover, and hoped more filled the pages. This story, whether or not a remake of a classic, holds it's own as a historic impression of 1920's New York, and a marvelous graphic lesson in Art Deco for all children, and indeed everyone short of the privelage of experiencing the era first-person.A very light-reader, there is nothing involved to evade anyone's attention, and everything to deliver fuel to the imagination for what this glamorous and dramatic world was at the time, and lent to art and society thereafter.
