Description: "A genuine treat." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A spectacular art object...certainly a treasure." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Gaiman and Riddell's greatest [collaboration] to date." - Tor.com "Told in a way only Gaiman can" and featuring "stunning metallic artwork." - GeekInsider "A refreshing, much-needed twist on a classic story." - The Guardian "Spellbindingly illustrated." - Gaby Wood, Saturday Telegraph "A striking volume...thrums with malevolence and confounds our expectations...[the pictures] seem to writhe creepily on the page." - Wall Street Journal "Magical, sumptuous, transporting." - The Big Issue "Unforgettable, unpredictable and utterly enchanting for anyone between the ages of seven and seventy." - Amanda Craig, The New Statesman "Gaiman's storytelling immediately casts a spell over readers and contains more twists than merely substituting a daring queen for a charming prince--cobweb-covered sleepwalkers shambling about like zombies, for example. Kate Greenaway winner Riddell's black pen-and- ink illustrations are accented in gold, lending a rich, gothic beauty to the tale." - Booklist "Riddell's spectacularly intricate ink drawings, gilded with gold, bring Gaiman's inventive story to life...This highly recommended visually stunning twist on two classic fairy tales will be well received by fans of graphic novels and fantasy stories." - School Library Journal (starred review) "Unabashedly feminist...So sonically tuned that it breathes on its own from the very first line. Adding to the wonder are Chris Riddell's dazzling illustrations." - New York Times Book Review "A wholly original reimagining...Riddell's artwork is the reason a library should own this title in their collection. His details are exquisite." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
