Traveling in Arabia as an Ambassador from the exiled Fables community, Snow White is captured by the local sultan who wants to marry her (and then kill her). But the clever Snow attempts to charm the sultan instead by playing Scheherazade, telling him fantastic stories for a total of 1,001 nights. Running the gamut from horror to dark intrigue to mercurial coming-of-age, FABLES: 1,001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL reveals the secret histories of familiar Fables characters through a series of compelling and visually illustrative tales.
Premise: the characters from fairy tales have left their homeland and are living in the modern world. There's a crime, and some characters try to solve it.
And you know? It works. I was skeptical, I admit, but it was fun to read. I'd recommend it and pick up the second in the series, for sure.
