fairest of all a tale of the wicked queen

But usually I don't mind reading children's books. It's just bad.Ĭhildish: Yes, Disney is for children and yes, this is aimed a younger audience. I was under the impression that this would be some sort of redemption story, something that would explain the behaviour of the Wicked Queen and perhaps even make me see her in a different light.

This was just 250 pages of disappointment upon disappointment. Honestly, I don't even know where to start.

I HAD PUT OFF THIS SERIES FOR FEAR OF BEING DISAPPOINTED. It is a tragic tale of love and loss, and it contains a bit of magic. This book recounts a version of the story that has remained untold until now.

In fact, the theories about exactly what cause the Queen’s obsessive vanity and jealous rage are too numerous to catalog. Mostly, the Queen is painted as a morally abhorrent woman who never loved another being during the course of her miserable life. Others claim that the Queen might have hated the girl for her resemblance to the King’s first wife. Perhaps the Queen’s true nature was that of a wicked hag and her beautiful, regal appearance a disguise used to fool the King. Still, some have attempted to guess at the reason. Despite a few variations from telling to telling, the story remains the same-the Queen was jealous of the girl’s beauty, and this jealousy culminated in the Queen’s attempt on the sweet, naive girl’s life.Īnother tale far less often spoken of is the one that explains what caused the Queen to become so contemptuously vile. Here’s a hint: the creepy-looking man in the magic mirror is not just some random spooky visage-and he just might have something to do with the Queen’s wicked ways! Enjoy Serena Valentino's entire Villain's series.The tale of the young princess and her evil stepmother, the Wicked Queen, is widely known. (And even if this sort of thing is a common urge, we don’t know many people who have acted upon it.)Now, for the first time, we’ll examine the life of the Wicked Queen and find out just what it is that makes her so nasty.

For anyone who’s seen Walt Disney’s Snow White, you’ll know that the Wicked Queen is one evil woman! After all, it’s not everyone who wants to cut out their teenage step-daughter’s heart and have it delivered back in a locked keepsake box.
