With a kiss, a sleeping princess is awakened from her cursed sleep. Charles Perrault's "The Sleeping Beauty" and the Brothers Grimm's "Little Briar Rose" tell the tale of a beautiful princess and a peaceful kingdom that fall under the spell of a jealous fairy bent on revenge.

The story of the Sleeping Beauty has enchanted the young and the young-at-heart for centuries, and has served as the inspiration for numerous adaptions, including the animated film Sleeping Beauty, and the forthcoming Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie.

      This stylish retelling of the Brothers Grimm's "Briar Rose" joins Rowe's earlier adaptations of "Hansel and Gretel" and "Little Red Riding Hood." The six pop-up spreads are a mix of handsome interior and exterior scenes, and the muted palette of brick red, brown, and pale green echoes the somberness of a story built around a curse. The retelling doesn't avoid dark details (tangled in the thorns outside the castle, many princes "were unable to free themselves and died a miserable death"), but a verdant wedding scene gives Sleeping Beauty and her prince their happily ever after. Ages 5â7.
