Disney's Sleeping Beauty
45 pages · First published 1972
Princess Aurora is cursed by the evil fairy Maleficent to prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die before her sixteenth birthday, but three good fairies soften the curse into enchanted sleep. Raised in hiding as Briar Rose, Aurora grows up unaware of her royal identity and of the danger waiting for her. Her meeting with Prince Phillip complicates the fairies’ carefully arranged plans just as Maleficent closes in. This Disney storybook adaptation retells the animated film’s version of Sleeping Beauty, emphasizing fairy magic, romance, and the battle to awaken a kingdom from the curse.
