Castle Waiting / Linda Medley / 457 pages / Fairy Tale

Do you know St. Wigglefort the Unencumbered?  If you read Castle Waiting you will discover just who he is/was.  Over forty years ago a professor at UMSL made reference to this little known saint frequently in his lectures.  I have not heard mention of the saint since.  Imagine my surprise to encounter him in a graphic novel fairy tale!  Publishers Weekly says, " A set of linked nouveaux fairy tales, this graphic novel extends the story of Sleeping Beauty into a modern feminist Chaucer..."  Definitely a surprise!!  Bearded ladies?!
