Book Review: The Fairest of Them All

Book Review: The Fairest of Them All

I lived on Fairy Tales when I was younger with Snow White being my favorite.  Of course I grew up on the sanitized Disney version, my room was an advertisement to the Princess and learned how to work the VCR for a constant loop of Snow White and her seven little men.  All in my […]
