Inspiring and superbly illustrated.
Gaiman gave a lovely gift to his daughters with this retelling of Sleeping Beauty. This a fairy tale where the women save the day, the only men that appear and play a role are literally little, dwarves. I like the twist at the end, and while this has violence, it is fairy tale appropriate and therefore suitable for children. I'm considering purchasing the hardcover for my permanent shelf of children's stories because the illustrations are lovely: black and white with highlights of golden and the dust cover is fabulous.
