19,50€
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.
Neil Gaiman nous conte une fois de plus une très belle histoire. Accompagné des magnifiques dessins de Chris Riddell, illustrateur de talent et auteur de la série Ottoline, ce conte nous fait redécouvrir des personnages que l’on pensait connaître parfaitement, et cela fait beaucoup au charme de l’histoire. Abordable dès 6 ans, ce livre ravira les adultes autant que les enfants déjà familiarisés avec les contes de Blanche Neige et de la Belle au Bois Dormant.
