'"You don't need princes to save you," says Neil Gaiman, speaking about
his new fairy tale, The Sleeper and the Spindle. "I don't have a lot of
patience for stories in which women are rescued by men." And so, in his
slim, gilded, wicked book, a beautiful young queen calls off her own
wedding and sets out to save a neighbouring kingdom from its plague of
sleep.'
Great article on fairy tales. Via Christopher Lamke and Paula Rizzuto.
