More About The Sleeping Beauty
all things are simple when once you know them. C.S. Evans, The Sleeping Beauty // puissant Sovereigns and of divers of C.S. Evans, The Sleeping Beauty // As far as I can, I will undo the mischief which my sister has done. It is true that I have not the power to prevent altogether what she has decreed. The Princess shall, indeed, prick her finger with the spindle of the spinning-wheel on the day when she attains her fifteenth year; but instead of dying she shall fall into a deep sleep; and this sleep shall last for a hundred years, and when that time is past, a King's son shall come to waken her. C.S. Evans, The Sleeping Beauty //
A version of Sleeping Beauty that has several of the motifs that found the way into the Disney movie. While some what dated, Evans should get credit for making his Briar Rose smart. She is studies everything so knows not only languages, but law and physics. While she still has to be rescued, she isn't a dumb blonde. It is a lengthening of the known fairy tale, very similar to the version of the Grimm brothers. Beautifully written and interesting. Although, I liked the short fairy tale much better because sometimes I felt that this one was way too embellished. Interesting nonetheless. I've been meaning to cross this one off the to read list for years. Finally did it. The story is simpler than the Disney cartoon movie and not as entertaining as Maleficent. It really is just a nice children's story.
