Snow White by the Brothers Grimm and Camille Rose Garcia

Ah, Snow White. A fairy tale classic. This version I read was based on the real one, I'm pretty sure because it involved the step mother eating a boar's heart and lungs and stuff. I don't know if the words were by the original people (I think they were) but the art was by Camille Rose Garcia.
About the story, as many of you may know Snow White is about a young girl named Snow White who was very beautiful. Snow White's stepmother always thought of herself as the fairest in the land but when her magic mirror tells her Snow White is more fair, the evil stepmother tries to kill the girl.
I like this story in general and the art of Garcia added a nice touch. The art was different from your average kind. Kind of gothic, funky and very interesting. I didn't really like how the prince was drawn. He looked evil. It's also ridiculous reading how the prince and Snow White got together... but oh well.
Though many of you know this story, I still suggest reading the book to enjoy the art that comes with it. I probably don't recommend this to younger kids because the art might just scare them a little.
I rate this book a 8/10 for the art and the story.
