The Sleeping Beauty

A frog rises beside the Queen in her bath and tells her the wish she has scarcely dared to voice. Before long, pink almond blossom will announce that it has come true.

In a splendid, peaceful kingdom, a King and Queen welcome the daughter they have longed for and name her Briar-Rose. Her christening brings a glittering feast and twelve fairy godmothers, each ready to give the child a gift. But one fairy, shut away in a ruined tower with only a black cat for company, has been forgotten—and she is furious. As the palace fills with music, ceremony and celebration, the royal family’s joy rests on a welcome that was never given. What will the uninvited fairy bring to the feast?
