The Sleeper and the Spindle

On the eve of her wedding, a young queen sets out to rescue a princess from an enchantment. She casts aside her fine wedding clothes, takes her chain mail and her sword and follows her brave dwarf retainers into the tunnels under the mountain towards the sleeping kingdom. This queen will decide her own future — and the princess who needs rescuing is not quite what she seems.

Twisting together the familiar and the new, this perfectly delicious, captivating and darkly funny tale shows its creators at the peak of their talents. The truly magical combination of author Neil Gaiman and illustrator Chris Riddell weave together a sort-of Snow White and an almost Sleeping Beauty with a thread of dark magic to create a thrillingly reimagined fairy tale. Lavishly produced, packed with glorious illustrations enhanced with metallic ink, this is a spectacular and magical gift which will hold readers spellbound from start to finish.
