At Princess Briar-Rose's name-day, the fairy Pernicia, feeling snubbed, presents the baby with a gift: a curse that will cause the princess to prick her finger on a spinning-wheel spindle on her 21st birthday, and fall into a sleep from which she will never awaken. To save the princess, the fairy Katriona spirits the infant away to her backwater home in the village of Foggy Bottom, where the child is raised as a village maiden...
An enchanting retelling of the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty"

RELEASE NOTES:

This one goes to Rianonne. Maybe she'll be kind enough to take this as a sort of mini-bookring, so that I may have it again one day...Have fun reading!

What a lovely cover!
I will ready it as soon as possible :-)

I started it sometime in September and it really took me a long time to read. The English isn't that difficult but the long sentences kept me re-reading parts *blushing*

I can recommend the book warmly as it is full of magic!!

I just love such stories and will look out for other books from Robin McKinley.

RELEASE NOTES:
