Sleeping Beauty has been snoring for some considerable time. About seventy years, it's thought. But recently, the sleeping spell has been spreading and it's now threatening the realm across the mountains, where another Queen is about to be married. And this Queen is not having any of that. Putting her crestfallen fiance and her glamorous wedding dress to one side, the Queen dons her armour (heart and stomach of a lion, this one) and travels with three dwarf retainers through the tunnels under the mountains, determined to save her country and her people...
So y'know. It's fab, of course. What else would you expect from these two gents?
Other lovely books with a fable feel include [[The Silver Donkey by Sonya Hartnett]] and [[Boy In The Tower by Polly Ho-Yen]]. For more Chris Riddell, look at [[The Emperor of Absurdia by Chris Riddell|The Emperor of Absurdia]] and for more Neil Gaiman, we loved [[The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman|The Graveyard Book]]. Chris Riddell also illustrated [[The Rabbits' Rebellion by Ariel Dorfman and Chris Riddell|The Rabbits' Rebellion by Ariel Dorfman]].
