The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman
Fantasy
Summary: On the eve of her wedding, a young queen sets out to rescue a princess from an enchantment.
72 pages
My Rating: B+
I bought this last year when I was reading fairy tale retellings, though I didn't get to it until last month. It's a fabulous winding of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, and changes the ending of both. While I've never been a big reader of Neil Gaiman, he wrote one of my all-time favorite books, and I love how supportive and appreciative of his fans he is. He's a great man, and we're lucky to have him.
The art in this is gorgeous, and some pages have hand-written quotes from the part of the story it illustrates. This one's definitely worth it if you enjoy fairy tales. And if you're a Gaiman fan, it's definitely worth getting.
