the sleeper and the spindle
Reviews
Short of a Century
It is a good addition to the library and a good gift. Books paper quality is very good. The story surprised me and was delightfully fresh - though not in the way I’d been expecting! I'd recommend it to those who like Gaiman or Riddell plus those who are venturing out into the harsh and original or grown up narrations of fairy tales (illustrated or not).

Here we have two strong, resourceful female lead characters, and a powerfully told tale. It is a good story for children as it imposes girls can be heroes of their own which should be learned by children. The pages of Sandman are replete with examples of the same and Riddell's silent images which contain the beautifully macabre world of witches and thorns and skeletons and roses are not like the usual sublime after-thought doodles that one would find in the margins of a book like Neverwhere. There is a sense of craftsmanship throughout this book, and it exudes a sense of both a book and a tale from another time.
