"The princess will fall into a deep, peaceful sleep for one hundred years."
When a maleficent fairy curses Princess Aurora, only the power of a good fairy - and true love - can break the spell. A classic story, full of enchantment, love and wonder.
Anja Suanj's ornate artwork brings a magical touch to this pop-up edition of Charles Perrault's beloved fairy tale.
