ENGLISH BOOK

he story begins with a stand-alone prologue tale, Castle Waiting: The Curse of Brambly Hedge, which retells the story of Sleeping Beauty
mostly from the perspective of those at the periphery of the action.
The book then picks up many years later, after the castle, long
abandoned by Sleeping Beauty, has become a home for another group of
fairytale characters, many of whom have rather troubled pasts. The
castle's daily workings are now overseen by Rackham,
a stork-headed dandy, and the place has become somewhat run-down and is
beset by mischievous but generally friendly sprites and poltergeists.
This story originally focused on Lady Jain, a pregnant woman fleeing her
abusive husband.
