Description
A New York Times bestseller!
A Wall Street Journal 20 Best Children’s Books of the Past 20 Years Selection
“Phelan’s noir-esque adaptation of the classic fairy tale is atmospheric, clever, and touching. . . . A stunning, genre-bending graphic novel.” — School Library Journal (starred review)
The curtain rises on New York City. The dazzling lights cast shadows that grow ever darker as the glitzy prosperity of the Roaring Twenties screeches to a halt. Enter a cast of familiar characters: a young girl, Samantha White, returning after being sent away by her cruel stepmother, the Queen of the Follies, years earlier; her father, the King of Wall Street, who survives the stock market crash only to suffer a strange and sudden death; seven street urchins, brave protectors for a girl as pure as snow; and a mysterious stock ticker that holds the stepmother in its thrall, churning out ticker tape imprinted with the wicked words: “Another . . . More Beautiful . . . KILL.”

Matt Phelan's graphic novel adaptation of Snow White receives high praise for its innovative setting in 1920s and Depression-era New York City. Reviews commend the atmospheric and emotional artwork, which utilises pencil, ink, and watercolour illustrations to convey much of the story with minimal dialogue. This retelling is noted for its fresh take on the classic tale, appealing to both graphic novel and fairy-tale enthusiasts, with a focus on the relationships Snow develops with a group of children in this vividly reimagined historical context.
