Snow White: A Three-dimensional Fairytale Theater

Jane Ray is the author-illustrator of THE APPLE-PIP PRINCESS and the illustrator of LUGALBANDA: THE BOY WHO GOT CAUGHT UP IN A WAR by Kathy Henderson and CLASSIC FAIRY TALES by Berlie Doherty. She lives in London.

In exquisite three-dimensional scenes, Jane Ray retells and illuminates the story of Snow White, creating a gift book worthy of a fairy tale.

Once there was a beautiful girl with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as dark as the winter branches. In six intricate spreads, delicate paper layers let children peer in the palace window at the wicked queen with her mirror, watch Snow White run to the house of the seven dwarves, and gaze as the prince wakes her in her coffin. As the familiar text unfolds on flaps evoking stage curtains, the scenes play out in dioramas of rare depth and beauty.
