Editorial reviews

"Once upon a time there were a king and a queen who were very unhappy because they had no children." Thus begins this audiobook of C. S. Evans' version of one of the most beloved of children’s stories. The royal couple's wish is fulfilled but with bittersweet tidings, as an angry fairy curses their newborn daughter to fall into a 100-year slumber on her 15th birthday.

Suhaila Elatar performs this tale with equal parts tenderness and exuberance, bringing to life this sweet and haunting classic; an enjoyable audio experience for families and lovers of the classic fairy tale.

Sleeping beauty was a good short refreshing read. I can see myself reading it to my children one day for sure. I’m not sure what lessons there are in it other than don’t overlook one another and never underestimate a faerie clearly. She will find a way. Also the 13th fairies punishment seemed lacking. Briar Rose went to sleep for a 100 years, but so did all those she loved and all those that were in her kingdom. It seemed to help her in fact. She found her true love and she awaken with 100 years of advancement in the world. Enjoyed it all the same.
