Bookroo's summary
In 1920s New York, Snow White is a jazz singer protected by seven musicians. Her nemesis, the Queen of the Underworld, threatens her world. Can a daring reporter save her? Discover a fairy tale reimagined with Jazz Age flair.
From the publisher
Pulsating with the rhythm and vibrancy of the Jazz Age, this dazzling picture book is set in New York City in the 1920s. The story may be familiar, but the cast of characters will surprise you. Snow White is a beautiful jazz baby, protected by seven hot jazzmen. Instead of a wicked stepmother, her arch-enemy is the Queen of the Underworld. And her Prince Charming is a crack reporter from the New York Mirror. The breezy and clever text complements the style and color of the art deco illustrations, making this a picture book of astonishing originality. This winner of The Kate Greenaway Medal is at last available in paperback.
