The bestselling fairy tale about two sisters, a lost father, and an enchanted wood—now available with glorious full-colour illustrations in paperback!

A fairy-tale reimagining of Snow White and Rose Red from the New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Emily Winfield Martin. This enchanting book is filled with stunning illustrations.

Emily Winfield Martin reimagines Brothers Grimm fairy tales, treating delight, with a few grisly bits folded in, as its own reward. The deeper meanings of these stories do emerge, but the pleasure they give is paramount." - The New York Times

Snow and Rose didn't know they were in a fairy tale. People never do. . . .

Once, they lived in a big house with spectacular gardens and an army of servants.

Once, they had a father and mother who loved them more than the sun and moon.

But that was before their father disappeared into the woods and their mother disappeared into sorrow.

This is the story of two sisters and the enchanted woods that have been waiting for them to break a set of terrible spells.

In Snow and Rose, bestselling author-illustrator Emily Winfield Martin retells the traditional but little-known fairy tale "Snow White and Rose Red." The beautiful full-colour illustrations throughout and unusual yet relatable characters will bring readers back to this book again and again.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Snow and Rose by Emily Winfield Martin is a beautifully illustrated children's book that weaves a lyrical tale highlighting the magic of the woods and the powerful bond of sisterhood. With a moody yet whimsical atmosphere, the story emphasises family, friendship, and the charm of taking risks and being kind. It successfully balances the darker tones reminiscent of the Grimm brothers with enchanting elements that appeal to younger readers.
