The Sleeping Beauty
A fairy tale retold from Favorite Fairy Tales by Logan Marshall
This fairy tale comes from Favorite Fairy Tales, a collection by Logan Marshall published in the early twentieth century. The story of Sleeping Beauty has been told for hundreds of years and appears in many lands. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The tale teaches children that kindness can soften cruelty, that patience brings reward, and that true love can break even the strongest spell. It is a story of courage, hope and the power of good over evil.
