Usnula ljepotica
Charles Perrault
This fairy tale is about a royal couple who could not have children. After much effort, the queen gave birth to a beautiful daughter.
The seven benevolent fairies gave the princess different qualities, but the old fairy, who appeared after fifty years, cursed the princess that she would impale herself on a spindle and fall asleep for a hundred years.
Charles Perrault may have written only 11 children's stories, but despite his modest oeuvre, he is considered one of the world's greatest children's writers.
Another beautiful and very luxurious edition of the famous classic fairy tale about the cold and cruel queen, about good and evil, and about the strength and value of friendship.
