What is special about this version of the tale?
This tale is short and very romantic. It is not gruesome, like many of the Grimm fairytales are. The illustrations are minimalistic and beautiful, perfect for children or adults. I enjoyed this quick, but detailed version of Sleeping Beauty.
A brief summary of the plot that highlights any unique variations
This tale starts right off the bat with the princess being cursed, and then skips to her pricking her finger and everyone falling asleep. The authors even go so far as to describe all the animals that are sleeping as well. Right after the princess falls asleep, the story goes straight to the prince who will save her. The hedges open for him and he enters the property. He walks past everything and kisses the princess, waking everyone up from their 100 year slumber. Then of course, the prince marries the princess and they live happily ever after.
