This hardcover book features an oversized rectangular silhouette and a matte paper texture, offering a playful aesthetic for curated playroom displays.
A charming interpretation of the Brothers Grimm classic, this 1988 edition brings the story of Snow White to life through the gentle and detailed artistry of Jane Harvey. The book is distinguished by its soft lavender marbled cover and large-scale format, which allows the intricate cottage scenes and forest landscapes to serve as a visual centerpiece. Geraldine Carter’s retelling remains faithful to the timeless magic of the original tales, making this volume a nostalgic and beautiful resource for a new generation of readers or collectors of vintage fairy tale media.
The substantial 11-inch height provides a wonderful textural presence when styled in a nursery or on a dedicated "whimsy" shelf. Its pastel palette and classic illustrations evoke the cozy, storied atmosphere of late-century children’s publishing. While the cover shows the light character marks of a cherished book, the interior remains a vibrant and sturdy tribute to the enduring power of folklore. Whether utilized as a bedtime favorite or displayed for its artistic cover, this treasury is a resilient anchor for any collection of playhouse treasures.
This item is vintage, over years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
