Limited Edition: Signed Leather-Bound Snow White and the Widow Queen Gift Box
LIMITED EDITION - Exclusive signed leather-bound gift box edition
Snow White and the Widow Queen is an invitation to dive back into a lived experience that is expressed in all of our folk and fairy tales. The Brothers Jacob and Wilhem Grimm did not write down anything "new" when they collected and published their stories in 1812. It was not an analysis or a new spin on some old yarn. Rather, their publications preserved a tradition that related a lived experience through symbols.
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.
Signed Leather-Bound. 53 pages with 20 full color illustrations.
