“If you make it through the roses, she’ll be waiting for you.
She’s old as the hills, evil as a snake, all malevolence and magic and death.”
-Neil Gaiman, The Sleeper and the Spindle

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

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
