When Snow White travels to Arabia as the Fabletown ambassador, the last thing she expects is to become the Sultan’s wife of the evening. When the Sultan tells her that she will marry him that night and be executed the next morning, like many other women before her, Snow White refuses to submit and uses stories to save herself Scheherazade-style.
FABLES: 1001 Nights of Snowfall is a special edition of Brad Willingham’s FABLES comics. Fabletown is an underground colony in New York City where exiled fairy tale characters go to live in safety from the Adversary. These tales take place before the previously written Fabletown stories and introduce us to many of Fabletown’s residents and their histories. Did you ever wonder just why the Three Blind Mice lost their tails, if Snow White and Prince Charming actually lived happily ever after, or whatever happened to the Frog Prince? 1001 Nights of Snowfall answers these questions and serves as a wonderful introduction to the FABLES series.
A different artist illustrates each story and the full-color illustrations are stunning. Artists include Charles Vees, Mark Wheatley, Mark Buckingham and James Jean.
If you’re worried because you haven’t read other books in this series, don’t. 1001 Nights of Snowfall is completely understandable even to those without a FABLES background. But be warned: this book is so wonderful you just may find yourself seeking out all of the other books in the series!
