Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This classic tale is retold by Adèle Geras with her signature grace, while Christian Birmingham's luminous chalk and pastel illustrations, as well as delicate black-and-white charcoal sketches scattered throughout the text, bring Sleeping Beauty's enchanted world to life. "Birmingham's opulent illustrations wed Geras's lush prose for happily-ever-after results in this version of the classic fairy tale." - Publishers Weekly
Enraged at not being invited to the princess's christening, a wicked fairy casts a spell that dooms the princess to sleep for one hundred years.
