Summary: "The Sleeping Beauty" by C. S. Evans is a classic fairy tale adapted from the traditional story, published in the early 20th century. This illustrated book brings to life the enchanting tale of a young princess named Briar-Rose, who is cursed by a spiteful fairy to fall into a deep sleep on her fifteenth birthday. The narrative centers around themes of love, fate, and the contrast between joy and sorrow, typical of fairy tales. The story begins with a king and queen who, after years of longing for a child, celebrate the birth of their beautiful daughter, Briar-Rose. During her christening, 12 fairy godmothers bestow gifts of beauty, wisdom, and grace upon her. However, the neglect of the thirteenth fairy leads to a grave curse: that Briar-Rose will prick her finger on a spindle and fall into a deep sleep. Despite the king's efforts to eliminate all spinning wheels, the prophecy unfolds as she encounters an old woman on her fifteenth birthday, leading to the enchanted sleep that lasts for a century. Ultimately, a brave prince finds the sleeping princess, awakens her with a kiss, and breaks the curse, leading to joy and celebration in the reawakened kingdom. The tale concludes with the promise of love and the intertwining of two destinies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
