It’s amazing what you can find in the Libby app. For example, this one-hour, full cast, short story audiobook written by Neil Gaiman... twisting not one, but TWO fairy tales together into a delightfully creepy little nugget.

Before Queen Snow White marries her prince and settles into a properly dull life, she sets off with her dwarf buddies to find Sleeping Beauty and break the sleeping sickness that is attacking the villagers throughout the kingdom. This dark Snow White and #woke Sleeping Beauty mashup is a fun, fast read.

This is a fantastic interpretation of a well known fairy tale with a few unexpected twists and turns. A solid and fascinating short read. Anyone who enjoys Neil Gaiman and faerie tales will likely enjoy this.

I know I should not have been surprised, considering the talent behind "The Sleeper and the Spindle" -- Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell need to introduction from me -- but still I was amazed at the new creation they made of the Snow White and Sleeping Beauty fairytales. From the gorgeously intricate pen and ink illustrations, artfully ornamented with gold, to the subtle changes in personnel, they have created a beautiful new story. And it is as much fun to look at as it is to read.

5 Stars - I highly recommend if you enjoy fairy tale retellings, fantasy, or are looking for a change of pace.

When the dwarves learn that a sleeping spell is spreading across the kingdoms, and a rumor of a sleeping princess and a witch reach their ears they take the queen to investigate.

I loved this graphic novel. For one thing the art is gorgeous! Every picture is so detailed and stunning in black, white, and gold. The story instantly reminded me of a D&D adventure. Dwarves walk into a tavern, hear about a problem, and set off on a quest to save the kingdom. I liked that it was part quest, part fairy tale retelling, and as always Gaiman's writing is fantastic. Everything is so vividly imagined and described, which really brought the story to life. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to spice up their reading.

I had pretty high expectations for this book because I absolutely love Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell; thankfully they delivered. I was very charmed by the writing and I spent extra time on each page taking in every detail of the illustrations. I really enjoyed the twist because I did not see it coming. I only wish the ending was a little less vague but otherwise it was a fantastic book in every way.

I cannot praise Neil Gaiman enough his work always amazes me. But this is also not the typical fairy tale. Forget damsels being saved by men and prepare for something different. The imagery was also beyond gorgeous. I highly recommend this one.

A beautiful twist on a classic fairy tale. The illustrations in the book really made the story.

This was a great combination of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, and I really enjoyed the twist with the queen and the witch.

A very interesting reimagining of two classic tales: Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. It ties together the obvious similarities of the two tales seamlessly and is well done, though the climax is rather short and uneventful. Overall, it was an engaging and intriguing short story that I really enjoyed. The illustrations by Chris Riddell are very well done and integrated with the text very well.
