They’ve done it before, Gaiman and Doran, with another short story of his, a retelling of the Snow White myth. Which was interesting but too wrongly visceral to love. This one, though, this one is pure beauty.
And it isn’t just Gaiman’s writing either. I love his writing, but honestly, the art here kind of steals the show. And no wonder…just read the afterword to see how much thought and work the artist put into it. Which is all to say this is a lovely story STUNNINLGY rendered. It’s so gorgeous that I lingered on every page, although none were text heavy, just to admire every detail. In real life chivalry might be on its last legs but on the pages on this story about an old woman, a treasure, and a knight in shining armor it’s vividly vibrantly alive. A lovely read. Recommended.
