Description:
This is a Turkish edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Pamuk Prenses ve 7 Cüceler) by the Brothers Grimm, published by Hürriyet Yayınevi. The story follows Snow White, a beautiful princess whose jealous stepmother, the Evil Queen, becomes determined to destroy her after the magic mirror reveals that Snow White is the fairest in the land. Snow White escapes into the forest and finds refuge with seven dwarfs, but the Queen continues to pursue her, eventually using a poisoned apple. The Brothers Grimm first published the tale in 1812 as “Sneewittchen.”
Snow White has been adapted and retold many times over the years and has become one of the most recognizable European fairy tales. The magic mirror, seven dwarfs, poisoned apple and Snow White's enchanted sleep have become enduring elements of the story and have inspired countless literary and artistic adaptations.
For collectors, this edition is particularly interesting because it was issued together with Hürriyet Çocuk magazine, a children's publication active during the 1983–1985 period. Although the book itself does not state an exact publication date, its association with the magazine places it most plausibly around 1984. The book contains numerous interior illustrations, making it an appealing example of a vintage Turkish children's publication and a collectible piece of the Hürriyet Çocuk publishing history.
