Sleeping Beauty

When Princess Briar Rose is a baby, a wicked fairy casts a spell. Will the spell come true? Can the good fairies save the day?

Relive the magic of the classic fairy tale, originally written by The Brothers Grimm, and retold by Jamie French. With absorbing illustrations throughout by Kimberly Barnes, young readers will be enchanted to discover whether good will triumph over evil in this favourite tale of family, love and bravery.

Jamie has been growing his amazing collection of much-loved traditional tales and fairy tales since he was small. Now that he is a grown up, and writes tales of his own, he is still influenced by the many illustrated books that transported him when he was very young. Jamie lives in a magical, quiet corner of the English countryside with his energetic dogs and inquisitive cats. Kimberley Barnes is a UK based illustrator with a degree in Illustration from the University of Lincoln. Originally from the Isle of Wight she now lives in Lincoln. Her love of drawing has lead her onto a career in children's illustration, as she loves to relive her childhood through the stories that she creates and works with. She will normally be found in her studio with a pencil in one hand and a cup of tea in the other and is partial to the odd biscuit or two.
