Snow White and Rose Red
288 pages · First published 1989
In Patricia C. Wrede’s retelling of the Grimm tale, two sisters encounter enchanted strangers and magical dangers while remaining grounded by their loyalty to one another. The familiar white and red roses, mysterious bear, and hidden prince are reshaped through Wrede’s playful fantasy sensibility. Courage and kindness matter because the sisters’ choices determine how enchantment is confronted rather than merely endured. The story preserves the fairy tale’s central contrast between outward appearance and inward character while giving its heroines an active role in reaching the happy resolution.
