![]() ![]() ![]() This is one of my favourite fairy tales by the Grimm Brothers this book has influenced so many adaptations like Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and more recent Maleficent.

I found no qualms what so ever with Briar Rose, other than the whole, the prince came in and was like ‘hey, I’m gonna kiss this sleeping princess’. It was the traditional tale I had always remembered, and yet, something new at the same time.

This is the original story of Sleeping Beauty and the tale that inspired the numerous remakes and rewrites and movies.
