[1] " ... tells the story of an isolated, abandoned castle, and the eccentric inhabitants who bring it back to life. A fable for modern times, Castle Waiting is a fairy tale that's not about rescuing the princess, saving the kingdom, or fighting the ultimate war between Good and Evil -- but about being a hero in your own home. The opening story, "The Brambly Hedge," tells the origin of the castle itself, which is abandoned by its princess in a comic twist on "Sleeping Beauty" when she rides off into the sunset with her Prince Charming. The castle becomes a refuge for misfits, outcasts, and others seeking sanctuary, playing host to a lively and colorful cast of characters that inhabits the subsequent stories, including a talking anthropomorphic horse, a mysteriously pregnant Lady on the run, and a bearded nun"--Publisher's description.

Słynna amerykańska powieść graficzna w końcu po polsku! Dawno, dawno temu pewna królewna ukłuła się wrzecionem, zasnęła na sto lat, po czym obudziła się i pojechała w swoją stronę. Zamek natomiast pozostał tam, gdzie stał, a jego zdezorientowani mieszkańcy musieli zacząć żyć na własną rękę. Czas płynął, a gdzieś daleko, ciemną nocą inna kobieta uciekała z domu, mając ze sobą jedynie starą mapę prowadzącą w miejsce, gdzie nikt nie będzie mógł jej już skrzywdzić. Co czeka ją po drodze i czy miejsce, którego szuka naprawdę istnieje? „Zamek Śpiący” Lindy Medley to porywająca, zanurzona w niezliczonych kontekstach szkatułkowa powieść graficzna o losach miejsca otoczonego magią, pełnego historii i tajemniczych mieszkańców. To baśń, w której nieraz odnajdziemy współczesne tropy, zaskakująco bliskie niepokoje i ponadczasową mądrość wielkich opowieści.
