Review: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs


Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by Wanda Gág

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



After reading the picturebook biography of Wanda Gag I wanted to see some more of her work beyond Millions of Cats. This was a great version, which hews closely to the Grimm original, and adds in some elements from Three Bears for dialog. I wished Gag and the editing and design team had done more to ensure there were more full-page illustrations. The spot illustrations are great decorative touches, but Gag is at her best when she keeps the whole frame to her meticulous drawings.
