"Snow White longed for the fine apple, and when she saw that the woman ate part of it she could resist no longer, and stretched out her hand and took the poisonous half. But hardly had she a bite of it in her mouth than she fell down dead."

classic. i have a copy of the one 4th from the bottom, but that’s not my picture of it. i am obsessed with old book covers, especially ones like the last one, printed with only 3 colors yet still incredibly beautiful.
