Kacey Kells's Book Review > "Fairest of All: A Tale of the Wicked Queen", by Serena

We all know about the young princess (Snow White) and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen. But... why was she so wicked? What happened to her? She most certainly was a beautiful and kind woman when she married Snow White's dad... Actually, she was a perfect wife and a sweet and protective stepmother who used to call Snow her "Little Bird"... Then, what happened? Why did she turn into this well known evil witch? "The Queen had had so much promise within her_so much power to make the world better". Why did she allowed darkness to guide her? And why is it that, after she's been killed by her stepmother and brought back to life by the prince, Snow White still loved the late Queen? Hmm... Yes indeed, the 'real' story is more complex than the tale we heard...
