The Sleeping Beauty
About this book
The Sleeping Beauty told at length, with the hundred years of sleep and the family the prince has to leave, and other tales retold by a scholar-novelist for children. Quiller-Couch edited the Oxford Book of English Verse and wrote as a professor who never lost the storyteller's ear. The additions to Perrault are made with an obvious relish for the parts he thought too short.
