Overview

In a beautiful collaboration, New York Times bestselling and Newbery and Carnegie Medal-winning author Neil Gaiman and Kate Greenaway-winning illustrator Chris Riddell have created a thrillingly reimagined fairy tale, "told in a way only Gaiman can" and featuring "stunning metallic artwork" (GeekInsider.com).

The result is a beautiful and coveted edition of The Sleeper and the Spindle that the Guardian calls "a refreshing, much-needed twist on a classic story."

In this captivating and darkly funny tale, Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell have twisted together the familiar and the new as well as the beautiful and the wicked to tell a brilliant version of Snow White's (sort of) and Sleeping Beauty's (almost) stories.

This story was originally published (without illustrations) in Rags & Bones (Little, Brown, 2013). This is the first time it is being published as an illustrated, stand-alone edition, and the book is a beautiful work of art.

  • You dont need princes to save you."

    Samantha C. - 1 year ago

    This princess mash-up was most definitely not brought to you by Disney. This retelling of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty is dark, empowering, devoid of romance and full of magic. Although short, this tale has several surprising and satisfying twists. When the queen hears of people falling victim to a sleeping curse, she dons her armor, puts her engagement on hold and marches out to fix the problem. But the bad guy isn't who you think...
