The Sleeper and the Spindle

By: Neil Gaiman

Narrated by: Julian Rhind-Tutt, Lara Pulver, Niamh Walsh, Adjoa Andoh, Peter Forbes, John Sessions, Michael Maloney, Sean Baker, Jane Collingwood, Clare Corbett, Allan Corduner, Katherine Kingsley

New York Times bestselling and Newbery and Carnegie Medal-winning author Neil Gaiman has created a thrillingly reimagined fairy tale, ""told in a way only Gaiman can"" (GeekInsider.com), that the Guardian calls ""a refreshing, much-needed twist on a classic story.""

In this captivating and darkly funny tale, Neil Gaiman has twisted together the familiar and the new as well as the beautiful and the wicked to tell a brilliant version of Snow White's (sort of) and Sleeping Beauty's (almost) stories.

amazing with a dark twist

I love this take on this fairy tale and turned it into something new and some what dark

Meh

It was a well read story, like an old radio show with a cast. That was great; the story itself was just okay.

Things We Love...With a Twist

The Sleeper and the Spindle by Neil Gaiman met my high expectations. It is an imaginative blending and twisting of familiar fairy tales and archetypal characters. This audible audio selection is a full cast production of the highest quality. The narration performances by Julian Rhind-Tutt, Lara Pulver, Niamh Walsh are excellent and fully support and enhance the material. I would recommend this short, vivid production to fans of the author, readers who enjoy fairy tales with a modern twist, and anyone who would like an entertaining, thought provoking, high quality story.

wonderful performance of a beautiful story.

I've listened to it three times already. A wonderful new perspective of one of my favorite fairy tales.
