This is the fourth of the fairy tale collections I've had the pleasure of reading, and this one is my favorite. Perhaps I'm biased, because Sleeping Beauty has always been my favorite fairy tale, but I think it's more than that. These different variations of Sleeping Beauty are as lovely as they are unique. The Charles Perrault version has always been a favorite, and of course the Grimm stories, The Glass Coffin and Little Briar Rose, are deliciously dark. The Irish take on the tale is even more fantastical. And finally, while I was familiar with Tenyson's poems, I never connected this one to the lore until now. As I said with the others, this is a perfect collection for both lovers of fairytales, and researchers alike.
