Sleeping Beauty

by Charles Perrault, Brothers Grimm

Overview

With a kiss, a sleeping princess is awakened from her cursed sleep. Charles Perrault’s “The Sleeping Beauty” and the Brothers Grimm’s “Little Briar Rose” tell the tale of a beautiful princess and a peaceful kingdom that fall under the spell of a jealous fairy bent on revenge.
