The Sleeping Beauty

C.S. Evans
3.92/5 (856 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
The story of the beautiful girl who falls into a long sleep, to be awakened by a lover's kiss, is the most romantic of fairy tales, and one that is found in many versions. Charles Seddon Evans, a schoolmaster turned publisher, retells the story, using as his source both Charles Perrault's La Belle au bois dormant and the later Dornröschen recorded by the Brothers Grimm, following the latter in calling his heroine Briar-Rose and omitting some grisly business with her ogress mother-in-law! Seddon's extended text, full of inventive detail, was produced especially for Arthur Rackham, who illustrated it with attractive silhouette drawings as a companion volume to Cinderella (also reissued by Everyman) in 1919.
