Fables : 1001 Nights of Snowfall by Bill Willingham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
The fairy tale creatures are on the run from an enemy force named the “Adversary”. They have found refuge in New York city and live as ordinary humans (or Mundys) concealing their powers. Snow White, who runs Fable town, needs help of the Eastern lands to wage a war against the Adversay which is why she comes to meet the Sultan. Snow\u00a0finds herself at the mercy of a sultan who has the virgin he beds each night executed the following morning. To escape this fate of losing her head, Snow White offers to tell him stories. And thus begin 1001 Nights of Snowfall. <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
I ADORED this collection. I wouldn\u2019t say I enjoyed all the stories, but most of them were interesting. There is a story of a girl who has a\u00a0disturbing history with seven dwarfs, glimpses of the heinous actions of the dwarfs and the fate that befalls them. I loved reading about\u00a0The Big Wolf, son of North wind and a wolf. And that is why, my dears, he could “Huff and Puff” and blow the three pig\u2019s house down. He is the son of a wind after all.\u00a0The same wolf crosses path with Red Riding Hood as well. The story of the prince who turned into a frog and saved himself while his family was slaughtered is heart touching. Equally terrifying is the story of a tribal girl\u00a0who locked Rapunzel and owned a ginger bread house. Well, being named Frau Totenkinder, (which literally means dead children) it doesn\u2019t leave much to be imagined about her journey to become a well known witch.<\/p>\n

Final Verdict<\/h3>\n 1001 Nights of Snowfall<\/em> makes you want to curl up with a big mug of hot chocolate and be lost in the world of the fable folks. I highly recommend this read. This would make a great gift for anyone who loves fairytale re-tellings. The book ends with Snow White meeting Schechzarade. Well, the rest is history. History that gave us 1001 nights. But that is a story for another day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Warning : This book is suitable for a mature audience. There are some instances of violence and nudity and some stories might be a bit dark for children<\/p>\n
