Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as translated and illustrated by Wanda Gág is an enjoyable illustrated retelling of the fairy tale, first published in 1938. It is rather text heavy, and the story is morbidly close to the Brother’s Grimm’s account with the witch eating the boar’s heart.
But in this version, the black-and-white line drawings have a Candy-Land feel to them. While Snow White still isn’t convincing as either a seven-year-old or the “fairest in the land,” at least the pictures are child-like and appropriate. I’d recommend this version, which was awarded the Caldecott Honor in 1939.
