(3) YA Illustrated by Chris Riddell. This short story, a "Snow White"/"Sleeping Beauty" mash-up with plenty of feminist fairy-tale magic of its own, first appeared in the 2013 YA collection Rag & Bone: New Twists on Timeless Tales. Riddell's detailed illustrations (in black-and-white with gold accents) add character, charm, and a hint of creepiness to the tale of a queen setting out to rescue a princess from a curse.
