The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman

The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman, 66 pages.
Neil Gaiman's illustrated version of the sleeping beauty fairy tale, wherein the endless sleeping spreads outward from the castle where beauty lays to the surrounding lands. This version of the story is richly illustrated by Chris Riddell. All of the major characters in Gaiman's telling are female: victim, villain, and hero. An engaging tale.


"The Sleeper and the Spindle" also appears as a story in Gaiman's most recent collection of stories, Trigger Warning.
