Fairest of Them All: Tales of the Wicked Queen – Have you ever wondered why the Wicked Queen from Snow White was so wicked?  Well, now’s your chance to find out in this new novel for tweens.  Starting when she was just a young bride, we meet the Queen as she worries about marrying the King and becoming Snow White’s new mother.  See her own humble background, and who that man in the mirror really is.  Written by Serena Valentino, a creator who has worked for Slave Labor Graphics, this story weaves original work with lines and scenes from the original 1937 movie, creating a story that is familiar yet new at the same time.  Disney fans as well as those who love the villains will really enjoy this title.
