Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs.

JARRELL, Randall; Illustrated by Burkert.

Item Number: 29022

New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1972.

First edition of this classic illustrated retelling of the tale from the Brothers Grimm. Quarto, original cloth. Signed by the illustrator Nancy Ekholm Burkert on the half title page. Fine in a very good dust jacket.

Kirkus Reviews called this collaboration between Randall Jarrell and Nancy Eckholm Burkert "a sort of legend even before its time of publication." Jarrell also wrote The Bat-Poet and The Animal Family, a Newbery Honor Book. Jarrell retained the Grimm (and grim) ending to the tale, as the stepmother is forced to dance to her death. Burkert's illustrations are magical, light-filled creations that more than earn the book its Caldecott Honor Book status. This delightful book's extra-large format showcases the fabulously detailed illustrations, alternating two facing pages of art with two pages of straight text. This is an unforgettable interpretation of a well-loved story.
