This brief fairy tale is a twisting of the Snow White and Sleeping Beauty stories without the need for rescuing princes. In fact, the only males of any consequence in the tale are the dwarves that travel with the dark haired queen to the castle engulfed in thorns to rescue (or not) the sleeping woman inside. The story is not what you expect and it is enhanced by the detailed pen and ink artwork by Chris Riddell.
