description In this article, we investigate tradition and innovation in the work Beauty and the Sleeping by analyzing the construction of the narrative, considering the important role of graphic design and illustrations. In this way, we approach the collaborations between two important British authors: the writer Neil Gaiman and the illustrator ChrisRiddell. As a theoretical reference we give priority to studies on illustration and graphic design of children's books - Nikolajeva and Scott. Moraes, Linden and Ramos -, dialoguing with studies on fairy tales - Betelheim, Corso and Corso, Coelho and Propp. We could observe that even if it is not an illustrated book, according to the English conception of picturebook, the narrative is told not only by the written text, but also by illustrations and graphic design. The dialogue between writer and illustrator and the freedom he had to present his point of view were fundamental for the success of the work.
