A thrillingly reimagined fairy tale from the truly magical combination of
author Neil Gaiman and illustrator Chris Riddell weaving together a sort-of
Snow White and an almost Sleeping Beauty with a thread of dark magic, which
will hold readers spellbound from start to finish.

On the eve of her wedding, a young queen sets out to rescue a princess from an
enchantment. She casts aside her fine wedding clothes, takes her chain mail and
her sword and follows her brave dwarf retainers into the tunnels under the
mountain towards the sleeping kingdom. This queen will decide her own future
and the princess who needs rescuing is not quite what she seems. Twisting
together the familiar and the new, this perfectly delicious, captivating and
darkly funny tale shows its creators at the peak of their talents.

Lavishly produced, packed with glorious Chris Riddell illustrations enhanced
with metallic ink, this is a spectacular and magical gift.
