Once upon Nine Times

From the collection The Little House of Stories by Silvia Kerim, the most loved author of fairy tales. \n \n The book was selected by IBBY as worldwide representative for Romania and Romanian culture, List of Honour, Santiago de Compostela, Spain, 2010 \n \n It was the most beautiful winter ever. The snow was piled up high upon mountain and plain, its brightness reaching far into the dark sky. \n Snow White had gone on a world tour, leaving her story far behind. With the seven dwarves in tow, naturally. Since she was biding her time till the arrival of the prince and the ensuing marriage, which was not to happen for quite a long spell - at any rate not before the Witch's accession and demise, Snowey had set her mind on travelling beyond the mountains so as to know other creatures and other stories. And, more to the point, other planets. \n \n Ilustratii color. \n
