Sleeping Beauty is the fifth story in The New Fairy Tales Series. It is taken from and based on the original fairy tale Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault in 1697. Sleeping Beauty is another fairy tale that I've always loved which is way I wanted to remake it.
In a kingdom far away, a Queen wants nothing more than to have a child to call her own. She prays everyday to have a child to call her own. Then she gives birth to a beautiful baby girl who she calls Rose. The kingdom has a celebration in honor of the child and have fairies come and bless the child. But one fairy wasn't invited and she crashes the celebration and curses the princess. The curse is that when the princess turns sixteen she will prick her finger on a spindle of a spinning and die. The King then creates a new law where all spindles are banished from the kingdom and if anyone is caught using one, the will be sentenced to death. Once Rose is sixteen, her mother and father leave the kingdom to find new materials and find ways to make clothes, leaving the young princess alone in the kingdom. This gives the evil fairy a chance to make her move, but a Prince visiting the kingdom will stop at nothing to protect the princess from evil. But will he save her before it's too late?
This has been fun coming up with the plot and storyline. I love it and I will really enjoy writing it. Stay posted for more info about Sleeping Beauty.
That sounds really interesting! :)
