The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman

Today's book review will be on " The Sleeper and the Spindle " by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Chris Riddell. It's based on the fairytale of the Sleeping Beauty. Retellings are fun to read because they look so different from fairytales. As our society changes so does our thoughts and social interactions. In this story there is no prince and no happily ever after for the sleeping beauty. And yet this felt so real and close to our time. This is an adventure undertaken by a princess to save the princess of another nation. What lies ahead for these two souls...well I'm not going to tell you. That will fall under spoiler otherwise. If you love reading fairytales and adventures then this is the book for you. It not only contains a great story but is also beautifully illustrated at every page. What you will get from this book is an incomparable memory and maybe some life lesson on the side.
