The Queen had previously overcame an enchanted sleep and with her dwarf confidants who only sleep twice a year, they know they will be immune to the spell, and so they brave through the dark tunnels under the mountain that separates the two kingdoms, walked under the shade of the dark and creepy forest and ward off zombie-like sleepers towards the sleeping kingdom. She’s also then decided to save the princess who was thought to be enchanted by a witch and is now in slumber for 70 years. The sleeping curse is sweeping the land and by estimate it will reach their kingdom anytime soon. It follows the story of a queen, Snow White, which on the eve before her marriage, decided to delay it and save her kingdom from an imminent “plague, a sickness, a curse, a spell” that is sweeping their neighboring kingdom. The book is a cross-over retelling of Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. And the author made the plot so so spellbinding, giving a twist to a classic story. The gorgeously illustrated cover of the book is already enough to buy it. The Sleeper and the Spindle is just one of those few books that is worth buying because of its story and illustration.
