There once lived a good king and a gentle queen who ruled a rich and happy land. They wished for a child for many years. Finally, a princess is born to the king and queen. The good fairies are called to give the baby a gift. An old fairy is hurt that she is not invited and puts a curse on the child. The princess pricks her finger with a spindle and falls asleep for one hundred years. When she awakes a handsome Prince awaits. Beautifully illustrated, this classic comic graphic fairy tale captures the imagination of readers of all ages and inspires a love of reading.
