About this deal

If she did not listen to the dwarfs, she would have no place to live, and the evil queen would kill her. The Sleeper and the Spindle wouldn’t have impacted its readers if Gaiman and Riddell hadn’t respected and trusted each other. In Gaiman’s telling, a queen who wants more adventure in her life decides to rescue a princess that has been trapped by a curse. The bestselling, award-bedecked Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell are reunited in this irresistible fairytale reboot, with vibrant red ink adding lustre to an amazingly beautiful book.

Vidim da su mišljenja podeljena kada je reč o ovoj pričici, ali meni je posle napornih mesec dana na poslu došla kao melem na ranu. Repeating this information in text and image makes the reader pay more attention to it, so if a certain item, feature, or person is key to the story, having that thing appear in multiple places can foreshadow its importance and prepare the reader.This is the first time it is being published as an illustrated, stand-alone edition, and the book is a beautiful work of art.

The queen (Snow White) is preparing to marry her prince and to live happily in her kingdom until she’s informed of a sleeping enchantment that’s taken over everyone in a nearby land.

The Sleeper and the Spindle is a modern version of two classic fairy tales, so the genre lends itself to combining text and image. You can listen to it FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD on the BBC page or (possibly more reliably) through the BBC sounds app. The language used throughout this book enables the reader to feel every emotion and, coupled with the amazing illustrations, you truly immerse yourself in the story and are transported to the lands of Dorimar and Kanselaire. I like that he made the queen a badass, but more than that, I liked that she was the one who kissed the sleeping princess without it turning into some sort of crappy, jerk-off lesbian fantasy material. There is an interesting twist to the story as I initially thought that the old lady was the evil one who put the girl to sleep, but as the story goes on you find out that the girl is a nasty witch who put a sleeping spell on everyone, taking their youth away.

That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. A self-confessed “feral kid who was raised in libraries”, Author of the Month Neil Gaiman, spent much of his childhood devouring the books of J. When not writing or reading, Caitlin runs the Colorado trails or teaches Pop Pilates and makes color changing potions. The lust for beauty, power and youth underlies this story and the concept of life threaded into a roll of yarn is unique.
