The Sleeper And The Spindle - Neil Gaiman
5/5
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.
Beautifully written, with beautiful illustrations. Just another masterpiece by Neil Gaiman.
“You don’t need princes to save you. I don’t have a lot of patience for stories in which women are rescued by men.” ― Neil Gaiman, The Sleeper and the Spindle
“Well,” said the third. “Somebody’s got to do the honours.” “I shall,” said the queen, gently. She lowered her face to the sleeping woman’s. She touched the pink lips to her own carmine lips and she kissed the sleeping girl long and hard.” ― Neil Gaiman, The Sleeper and the Spindle

Where did the comic go?
Hey all!
You might be wondering where our comic went. Norroway is currently under some revisions, and we are looking at taking it in a new direction in terms of its online presence.
From here on out, any new updates to Norroway will be posted to our Patreon page. (We are still on a hiatus until July 1st.)
Please bear with us while we restructure.
Thank you for your loyal support and your readership. You’ve made working on this comic a pleasure. :)
