I have loved fairy tales since I was a child and Sleeping Beauty has long been my favorite. The book is a collection of variations of the story of Sleeping Beauty and does not disappoint. I read the book in one sitting and was delighted by not only the complexity and differences in the stories but the illustrations as well.My only experience with the "Sleeping Beauty" story came from reading the Grimm Brother's version but, I was amazed to learn there were six other versions by different authors including one by Alfred Lord Tennyson and another by the brother's Grimm titled, "The Glass Coffin." As an added bonus I was delighted to find that the book also includes links to an audio recording of the story that can be downloaded as an Mp3.If you are lover of fairy tales or have a child who loves them and wish to own a comprehensive collection of Sleeping Beauty stories then do not pass up this book. Highly recommended.
