![]() ![]() I was studying for an MA in Librarianship and David was busy on other projects. We had some discussions, but various things stopped us from going further with it at the time. Lynn: After ‘Little Red’ was published in 2006, David and I thought about doing another fairy tale, and ‘Sleeping Beauty’ was among a few ideas. ![]() From the witty period detail of 18th-century England in ‘Little Red’, to the glamorous roaring ‘20s of ‘Cinderella’, to the retro charm of 1970s ‘Rapunzel’, we now arrive in the 1950s for a brilliant retelling of ‘Sleeping Beauty’. In this post, Lynn and David talk about the creation of the latest book in their reimagined fairy tale series. Lynn Roberts-Maloney is a children’s literature specialist and writer who has worked with her brother David on four fairy tale books. Since returning to the UK, he’s become a hugely successful children’s book illustrator.
