"We've seen the incredible consumer buzz for Snow White and the Huntsman following the release of the first trailer," said Cindy Chang, VP and GM of Universal Partnerships & Licensing. "With a cross-category collection of licensees represented, we're confident our licensing programme will bring the same excitement generated by the trailer to the retail marketplace."

A movie-tie in book (no cover art as yet, but with 240 pages):

Snow White and the Huntsman

A breathtaking new vision of a legendary tale. Snow White is the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen who is out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman who was dispatched to kill her.

It will be available on 17 April 2012.

It can be pre-ordered at BarnesandNoble via @KstewAngel  - thank you!

Exciting! We can see that most of us will be wanting some, or all, of these products. :)
