This splendid book was given to me as a birthday present, and as with all Chris Riddell books I read I loved every word of it! The enchanting read is full of magic and mystery, as it tells the story of Sleeping Beauty but with a interesting, unique spin on it.
Complete with Riddell’s amazing illustrations, Gaiman narrates the well-known story tale of Sleeping Beauty, except there is a change...
The young queen who rules the kingdom rescues the princess by giving her a tender kiss, but things don’t quite go to plan because the princess in the fairy tale isn’t always as good as gold...
Even if you don’t like fairy tales, I highly recommend this enthralling tale, as it has a quite different take on most average ones.
