About this title

Synopsis

In this captivating and darkly funny tale, Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell have twisted together the familiar and the new as well as the beautiful and the wicked to tell a brilliant version of Snow White's (sort of) and Sleeping Beauty's (almost) stories. This story was originally published in Rags & Bones.

Review

Spellbindingly illustrated (Gaby Wood Saturday Telegraph)

Suffused with joy and melancholy and underpinned by the knowledge of where it comes from and where it wants to go . It is absolutely a retelling for our age, but also for ages still to come (Lucy Mangan The Guardian)

Magical, sumptuous, transporting (The Big Issue)

Unforgettable, unpredictable and utterly enchanting for anyone between the ages of seven and seventy (Amanda Craig The New Statesman)

Will hold the reader spellbound from start to finish (The Guardian)
