A grippingly recreated fairy tale from author Neil Gaiman and artist Chris Riddell, who have created a really wonderful partnership. Combining elements of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty with a hint of dark magic, this story will keep readers enthralled from beginning to end.
A young queen goes out to save a princess from an enchantment on the eve of her wedding. She discards her elegant bridal gown, grabs her sword and chain mail, and ventures into the underground tunnels under the mountain, heading towards the realm of slumber. The princess in need of saving is not who she appears to be, and this queen will choose her own destiny. This exquisitely tasty, engrossing, and darkly humorous story, which skillfully combines the old and the modern, displays the authors at the height of their abilities.
Richly crafted and brimming with exquisite Chris Riddell artwork enriched with shiny ink, this is an astounding and enchanted present.
