As in the classic tale our Snow White falls under the spell of the evil Queen. But who gets left behind when her Prince arrives?

Once upon a time, a princess was born with hair as black as ebony, lips as red as blood, and skin as white as snow. After the huntsman and before the dwarfs—while she was all alone in that great forest—the princess met a demon. He was hunting unicorns. And what bait could better snare his prey than the fairest of them all? This is the secret tale that the princess never shared with the world. This is the true story.

Under the Cover of Snow The Royal Unicorns Book One Twelve-year-old Laci tells her cousins it's time to grow up and stop believing in unicorns and magic. Her younger cousins coax her to come with them for a night to find out for herself if the creatures exist. When Laci meets a blessing of unicorns, she learns they need her help to save the world of magical creatures. She agrees to follow the unicorns to their home, Anuel, despite feeling out of place and that she isn't who they say she is. Along the way, the blessing is hunted by their arch enemy who wants to turn Laci and her cousins against the unicorns. Laci finds that both the human and unicorn worlds are threatened by the lurking evil that seeks them. Can she remember her true role in time to save both worlds?

Snow White is just TOO nice and always helping other people out. She never has a moment to herself! She asks her magic mirror for advice but will she ever really listen to the answer? Snow White must learn to say no if she's going to live happily ever after...

Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Anne Sexton morphs classic fairy tales into dark critiques of the cultural myths underpinning modern society Anne Sexton breathes new life into sixteen age-old Brothers Grimm fairy tales, reimagining them as poems infused with contemporary references, feminist ideals, and morbid humor. Grounded by nods to the ordinary—a witch’s blood “began to boil up/like Coca-Cola” and Snow White’s bodice is “as tight as an Ace bandage”—Sexton brings the stories out of the realm of the fantastical and into the everyday world. Stripping away their magical sheen, she exposes the flawed notions of family, gender, and morality within the stories that continue to pervade our collective psyche. Sexton is especially critical of what follows these tales’ happily-ever-after endings, noting that Cinderella never has to face the mundane struggles of marriage and growing old, such as “diapers and dust,” “telling the same story twice,” or “getting a middle-aged spread,” and that after being awakened Sleeping Beauty would likely be plagued by insomnia, taking “knock-out drops” behind the prince’s back. Deconstructed into vivid, visceral, and often highly amusing poems, these fairy tales reflect themes that have long fascinated Sexton—the claustrophobic anxiety of domestic life, the limited role of women in society, and a psychological strife more dangerous than any wicked witch or poisoned apple.
