Product Description:
The year is 1502, and seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives perched high above the rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany and Umbria at Montefiore, the farm of her beloved father, Don Vicente. But one day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm -- and the world comes to Montefiore.
In the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia -- decadent children of a wicked pope -- no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vicente on a years-long quest, he leaves Bianca under the care -- so to speak -- of Lucrezia.
She plots a dire fate for the young girl in the woods below the farm, but in the dark forest salvation can be found as well ...
A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, Mirror Mirror gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White -- and has a truth and beauty all its own.

After receiving many recomendations to read one of the author's other books ("Wicked"), I thought this might be a good substitute since "Wicked" was not available and the premise (re-telling of the fairy tale, with a twist) was the same.
I couldn't have ... Read More

It took about two weeks for the book to arrive. It came in almost new condition. A few of the pages were bent (like a page marker) but it came in very great condition. I would buy from this user again.

I agree this was a bit slow, but the writing was beautiful. When compared to the others by GM, it suffers somewhat, but if it was the only book he'd written I'd have been blown away.
