Snow White and the 7 Deadly Sins — Jeffrey Marlin

The basic elements remain: seven odd little men, a bad apple, an evil stepmother, a long sleep and a handsome prince. But they are the merest beginnings. This historically accurate version bares pivotal emotional and economic forces ignored by respectable scholars and unknown to Snow's modern admirers. It examines the Normal Dwarf society from which the seven miscreants were exiled, probes the painful depths of Queen Malicia's lurid psychopathology, and explores Snow White's own curious compulsions. Perhaps most exciting of all, SWAT7DS brings to life the Panticulan philosophy, political dynamics, and bizarre personalities which warped an era. It is a tragic story driven by good intentions, questionable outcomes, and smoked bats.
