âIn the meantime,â said the King, who had been very busy with his tablets, âHeaven helps those who help themselves. Iâve made a new law. Shall I recite it?ââOh, do, Your Majesty!â said everybody; and the youngest lady-in-waiting whispered, âHis Majesty does write such sweet, pretty laws.ââThe law is,â said the King, ââNo spindles allowed in my kingdom, on pain of death.ââEveryone clapped their hands, and the Queen dried her eyes and kissed the baby.Who better than E. Nesbit to tell the story of Sleeping Beauty? Illustrated throughout with silhouettes by Arthur Rackham.A book especially for the fans of J.K. Rowling and C.S. Lewis - two authors who loved Nesbit.
