The book opens with “The Brambly Hedge,” which gives the origin of the castle. There is a comic retelling of Sleeping Beauty, a medieval castle and its loving inhabitants are abandoned when the princess wakes up. Talking chivalrous horses, pregnant mothers on the run and nuns who were once bearded ladies in the circus are some of the characters who fill the pages of this book.
