Briar Rose, The Sleeping Beauty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798350726084)

"Briar Rose, The Sleeping Beauty", is destined to be a favorite among lovers of fairy tales of all ages.

The tale of Sleeping Beauty is one of the oldest fables we have. The tale has been retold by the most celebrated children's authors throughout it's history.

This new retelling blends the traditional story, "Sleeping Beauty," with descriptive, colorful language that vividly brings the narrative to life.

This 116 page, beautifully embellished retelling builds of the traditional story, omitting some of the darker elements in the very oldest versions from the early Middle Ages, which must have served as a cautionary tale, the narrative springs to life, as the reader follows the events of Princess Rose, the Fairies of the realm, and brave Prince Devon, and the unlikely, but indispensable, friends he meets on his quest to find "that which is most beautiful in all the lands".

15 beautiful, hand drawn illustrations by the author accentuate the message throughout.
