A king and queen celebrate the birth of their daughter by inviting the kingdoms fairies to a party. Unfortunately, they forget to invite a bad-tempered fairy, who retaliates by casting an evil spell on the baby. A good fairy alters the curse so that the princess will sleep for one hundred years before being woken by a kings son. When the princess turns sixteen, she pricks her finger on a spindle and falls into a deep sleep. A century later, a prince from another kingdom discovers the castle within a thick forest...

Traditional Fairy Tale modernised by Childs Play.

Illustrator biography:
Laura Barella was born in Italy in a countryside area near the Alpi mountains. After completing her Diploma at Artistic High School she attended the European Institute of Design in Turin. She started working as a naturalistic illustrator and for several years she has illustrated for children’s books.

She plays the piano and she likes to play early music for viola da gamba with her friends. She loves lakes and she likes, when she can, to take a rowing boat, a book, a camera and spend a beautiful afternoon on the lake.

•  In this modernised version, the prince wakes the princess by entering her room.
• Written with young readers in mind, this book features appropriate vocabulary and an economic, fast-moving style. 
• Colourful illustrations on every page will support and captivate beginning readers.
• Familiar plots and story structure gives confidence to early readers.
• Research shows that fairy tales are crucial to childrens development. They nurture moral behaviour and show young people the strengths and weaknesses inherent in human nature.
