Snow White and the Widow Queen

This book is a return to a storytelling style — reviving an iconic narrative approach as a way to share that lived experience that our ancestors were sharing in their homes, with their families, and in their communities long before modern times. This book also enhances that renewed story experience with striking illustrations that are invented alongside the narrative in a way that invites us — even implicates us — in the symbolic landscape through details that have always been there — like breadcrumbs — all along.

Pageau and Pollington's retelling honors the simple narrative styles of old, inviting us to remember and rediscover childhood enchantment, and to reawaken our deep heritage of myth and story -- a heritage that still has deep secrets to reveal after all these centuries.

The Symbolism of Snow White

Written by Jonathan Pageau with a beautiful layout by Heather Pollington, The Symbolism of Snow White is the perfect grown up supplement to the Snow White fairy tale. It comprises an essay on the symbolism of the story, exploring its often surprising, hidden meaning. Snow White is revealed to be a powerful coming of age tale, an exploration of beauty, power and technology while also acting as a window into more ancient stories, like the fall in Genesis or the judgement of Paris from Greek mythology.

It is Black and White with a stitched binding and foil cover, 36 pages with 3 original illustrations by Jonathan Pageau as well as several illustrated borders and chapter heads by Heather Pollington.

Snow White Hairpin Bookmark

The fallen Queen left behind many beautiful trinkets, and the King in his delusion gifted his new bride one of them, a regal hairpin: "It was golden with filigree, and a green sapphire capped the edge." The Widow Queen finds a way to use the hairpin for evil, but you may use it for good, as an ornate bookmark to hold your place in your new storybook.
