Queen of All (Snow White) Enemy Inside (King Thrush Beard) Once Upon a Time... We all know the time-honored fairy tales of Snow White and King Thrush Beard. Or do we? Not everyone gets a happily-ever-after. What about the villains? Why were they so mean? And how did they turn out this way? Author Shea Berkley always wondered about the other side of the story. Was the wicked queen stepmother to Snow White always evil incarnate? And was King Thrush Beard, perhaps a lesser known fairy tale, such a mean trickster from childhood? What about the spoiled princess he tries to tame? Pull up a chair and join us for two tales told from the other point of view. The point of view of the Evil Queen and the Spoiled Princess. You might never feel the same way about the stories of Snow White and King Thrush Beard again.
