8: The Previously Untold Story of the Previously Unknown 8th Dwarf by Michael Mullin

Share it Please
Genre: Fantasy/Short Story/Fiction

Review: We all know the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs but very few people know about the eighth dwarf the other seven locked in the basement. Few people know of the important part he played in the story of Snow White and her happily ever after. Things could have ended very differently if it wasn't for this Dwarf.

I originally thought this would be fun for the kids but it is not a children's book but an adult short story. It is clean but it is still for adults. The ending of the story was very funny and I absolutely recommend it. :)



Author: From Goodreads, "Michael Mullin is a native New Englander living in Los Angeles. He is the co-author of John Skewes' successful Larry Gets Lost children's book series. In late 2010, he released 8: The Previously Untold Story of the Previously Unknown 8th Dwarf, the first in a trilogy of alternative/retold fairy tales. He published two novelty Mickey Mouse books, and his screenplay Zooing Time was recognized by the WGA's Written By magazine. Before all this writing, he taught preschool and college (two positions he found disconcertingly similar)."

Rating: ***** Five stars
