This column has dealt with Fables again, but this time it’s not about the ongoing story, this is an event in the Fables Universe that took place a few months ago but it’s never too late to experience. 1001 Nights of Snowfall, a hard cover book with stories written by Bill Willingham and drawn by Charles Vess, Brian Bolland, John Bolton, Michael Wm. Kaluta, James Jean, Tara McPherson, Derek Kirk Kim, Esao Andrews, Mark Buckingham, Mark Wheatley and Jill Thompson. Feeling dizzy? There’s more!

This is a collection of stories about the residents of Fabletown even before it was created, more information about your favourite characters and fill-ins of the stories we already partially knew. Snow White is imprisoned in Baghdad where the Sultan marries a woman every night and has her beheaded the next morning, to save her life she switches to the thing she know how to do best, story telling. Every night the story goes on and every morning the Sultan lets her live one more day until it is done, but how long will she survive before she succeeds in changing him? The well known tale of 1001 Arabian Nights is revived in this beautiful book where myths and legends meet their modern versions and tie in a tremendous outcome.

What really happened when Snow White married Prince Charming, why Bigby hates his father the North Wind, how was Flycatcher’s life destroyed during the invasion of the Adversary, the past of Frau Totenkinder (yeap, she once was young) and even more grasping stories in this filling hard-cover wonder, already in the bookstores and comics places, look up for it!
