The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman
5.0
Get ready for a fairytale like no other! This charming, sapphic, short story combines elements from both Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to create a unique narrative. The queen is determined to save her kingdom from a curse that has forced everyone into an endless slumber. But nobody is able to wake up the Sleeping Beauty. That is, until Snow White arrives on the scene, poised to use her skills as a knight to break the curse.
This lovely story is as captivating as it is beautiful, with stunning illustrations and a funny, original, and even a bit scary plot. If you're looking for a quick fairytale retelling, The Sleeper and the Spindle is a must-read. And if you're not keen on reading, the audiobook version is highly recommended.
