Princess Briar Rose, once doomed to death by a vengeful fairy, now sleeps in a forgotten castle, waiting to be awakened by a kiss. After a hundred years, a young prince, hoping to see the princess of his dreams, rides to the castle for just a glimpse – and finds the magic of true love within. This is one of my favorite fairy tales. Handed down through the years The Sleeping Beauty teaches us that LOVE will win over anything. These illustrations by Ms. Hyman are beautiful and share with you all the feelings the characters in the story experience. Let’s experience the magic of reading as I read aloud “The Sleeping Beauty” a Brothers Grimm fairy tale retold and illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman.
