Nardini Illustrations in 1960 Snow White Book @ Automotive World

My Book of Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs was first issued in 1960 by UK publisher Odhams Press Limited and in the US by Maxton. Contains 27 pages and stands 32cm tall.



Although it's not a Disney title, the illustrations by artist Nardini bare a familiar likeness to what we see in the motion picture. The book starts with Snow White's mother and her wish for a child, but it quickly falls in line with the film after that.



The Evil Queen consults her mirror.



Snow White flees into the dark forest.



She finds the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs, and they march home across the iconic Disney-esque log bridge.



At the cottage and the palace.



The evil potion.



And poison apple.



Illustrations of the hag and princess.



Sleeping death and the dwarfs in pursuit.



Fatal fall.



Love's first kiss.



And happily ever after.
