A really beautiful (and beautifully illustrated!) reimagining of some classic fairy tales.

The book was beautifully illustrated and the writing was gorgeous. I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a fairy tale retelling.

Posiblemente mereza menos estrellas, las ilustraciones me han encantado, aunque lo que no me ha gustado tanto es la trama, podría haber sido mejor, peroo

A really interesting retelling of Sleeping Beauty with another fairytale woven into it as well. The illustrations are lovely and a bit creepy, just like the wording Neil Gaiman uses. Wonderful little book!
