The Sleeper and the Spindle

The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman, 66 pages

This was an interesting retelling of more than one fairy tale, the main one being Sleeping Beauty.  Although a lot of the major points are the same there are some interesting twists that will be surprising to people familiar with the story (and who isn’t?).  I liked it.  Half of the book is illustrations and it’s short to begin with, making it a good choice for reluctant readers.  Give this to teens who like fairy tale retellings.
