Publisher's Synopsis

The 13th fairy curses a new born princess and she is destined to prick her finger on her 18th birthday and die. The curse cannot be reversed but is softened by a good fairy so she will fall asleep instead. The king is grateful but decrees that all needles and spindles in his kingdom must be destroyed. The 13th fairy is too clever for him though and, on her 18th birthday, Sleeping Beauty pricks her finger and falls asleep for a hundred years. Only true love from a handsome prince can save her now...

About the Publisher

Ladybird Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
