Summary: "The Sleeping Beauty Picture Book" by Walter Crane is a children's storybook composed during the late 19th century. This enchanting book blends poetry and illustrations, presenting classic fairy tales that explore themes of beauty, danger, and redemption. The primary focus of the book is the beloved tale of "Sleeping Beauty," accompanied by other stories which include "Bluebeard" and playful nursery rhymes designed for young readers. The central narrative of "Sleeping Beauty" unfolds in an ancient kingdom where a longing couple, the King and Queen, finally welcome a daughter. However, in a moment of neglect, they omit one fairy from the christening, leading to a dark prophecy about the Princess's fate. The tale follows her journey from an innocent child blessed with gifts to a beautiful young woman who succumbs to the curse of eternal sleep after pricking her finger on a spindle. A century later, a brave prince awakens her with a kiss, breaking the enchantment and restoring the kingdom. Additionally, the book features charming illustrations alongside a selection of nursery rhymes, capturing the innocence and delight of childhood. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
