** spoiler alert ** This is an illustrated book for adults. Love this concept, will look for more. Translated from the original French.

The story was similar to the story I know. This version is told by the jealous queen.

The 3 things that are different are -
1. the Queen eats the heart and liver of the boar thinking it was Snow Whites.

2. Snow White isn't awakened by true loves kiss, but by her translucent coffin case being jostled by a worker following the Prince. This dislodged the piece of poison Apple from her throat, which falls out. She then wakes up and sits up, the Prince asks her to marry him and she says yes.

3. The Queen is invited to the wedding and goes. When she arrives, she is seized and forced into burning 🔥 hot iron shoes, which then apparently ignite her body and she burns to death. I'm guessing that the Dwarves didn't have it in them nor did they have the means to kill the queen before this.

The art was horrible, hence 3 stars. Very crudely drawn with no skill. Also, besides the Queen repeating that she wants to be the most beautiful female in the world, the story doesn't go into anything else about the Queen. I guess she represents pure jealousy.
