The Woman with the Spindle

A Short Retelling of Sleeping Beauty

A. G. Marshall

A woman with a spindle. A chef with a secret. A queen with a monstrous appetite.

Ogres are rampaging in the mountains, and Hanna simply wants to warn the king. But the spindle in her purse is a far bigger threat to the kingdom than hungry ogres, and a sleeping curse is just the beginning. If you think you know the story of Sleeping Beauty, you’re in for a surprise!
