Book Synopsis
A beautifully illustrated, magical retelling of one of the most beloved fairy tales.
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Rosebud, a beautiful princess born to the happiest King and Queen in all the land. But aged sixteen, she pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and enters a hundred-year sleep. Add to the story some fairies, an enchanted forest and an unbreakable curse...but how will it all end?
An enchanting combination of classic retelling and contemporary illustrations for young readers.
