About the book
A captivating masterpiece of creativity, Mirror Mirror transports readers to Renaissance Italy, where Gregory Maguire weaves a fascinating link between the infamous Borgia family's penchant for poison and the iconic poison apple in the original Snow White story.
In this reimagining, Snow White goes by the name Bianca de Nevada. Born on a Tuscan farm in 1495, she embarks on a quest to recover the ancient Tree of Knowledge's relic at the behest of the deceitful Cesare Borgia. Left in the care of her father's farmhands and the stunningly vain Lucrecia Borgia, Bianca soon becomes the target of Lucrecia's envy and treachery in the woods near the farm. There, Bianca encounters the seven dwarves, craftsmen of the enchanted mirror, awaiting the return of their long-lost brother.
With Maguire's signature evocative prose, Mirror Mirror offers a fresh and enthralling reinterpretation of the classic fairy tale.
