![]() ![]() I was attracted to this book straight-away because I have a penchant for fairy-tale retellings but also because I just love the title! I was slightly worried at the girlie cover but decided to overlook that and read the book anyway. But when despite all the precautions put in place a spinning wheel finds its way to Gwennie and the castle fall into a deep sleep, it is up to Annie, untouched by the magic, to go out and find a suitable prince charming to kiss her sister and break the spell. Princess Annabelle has not had a great childhood her family hold a distance from her, worried that all the enchantments used to better their appearance will fade when she is near and instead spend their time fussing over her older sister Gwendolyn, who is beautiful of course, but also cursed. ![]() What if Sleeping Beauty wasn’t an only child? What if she had a younger sister whose only gift from the fairies was that she could not be touched by magic, and that in fact magic recoiled from her? ![]()
