Briar Rose, also known as "Sleeping Beauty," is a classic fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm in their collection of folktales. The story centers around a beautiful princess named Briar Rose, who is cursed by a wicked fairy to fall into a deep sleep on her 16th birthday. The curse is eventually broken by a prince, who awakens Briar Rose with a kiss and they live happily ever after.
The tale of Briar Rose is likely based on a number of older folktales and myths, and has been retold and adapted countless times over the years. In the version recorded by the Grimm Brothers, the curse is placed on Briar Rose by an evil fairy who is not invited to the princess's christening. The wicked fairy declares that on her 16th birthday, Briar Rose will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep. The curse is later modified by a good fairy, who reduces the length of the sleep and adds that a prince will eventually awaken Briar Rose with a kiss.
As the princess grows up, she is kept unaware of the curse, and on her 16th birthday, she discovers a spinning wheel and pricks her finger as the curse predicted. She immediately falls into a deep sleep, along with everyone else in the castle. A thick briar hedge grows up around the castle, protecting it from the outside world and keeping the princess and her subjects in a state of suspended animation.
Years pass, and a prince learns of the beautiful sleeping princess and the curse that has been placed upon her. He makes his way through the briar hedge and finds Briar Rose in her chamber, where he awakens her with a kiss. The curse is broken, and Briar Rose and the prince fall in love and marry.
The story of Briar Rose is a classic fairy tale that has captured the imagination of generations of readers. It teaches the importance of forgiveness, the power of love, and the dangers of envy and revenge. It is a timeless tale that continues to be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

And then the marriage of the king's son with briar-rose was celebrated with all splendor, and they lived contented to the end of their days. Perfect bedtime read for old and young.
Adults might find this out of step with the Disney version that we are all familiar with, but very young children are going to appreciate this gentler version as they are really all about the 'happy ending' and not so much about the struggle. The one gave her virtue, the second one beauty, the third one wealth, and so on with everything that one could wish for on earth. A quick story, but a classic that 1 I rather enjoy and 2 was all the better for the narrator's pleasing voice and skillful work in distinguishing one character from another. Sleeping Beauty is a fantasy genre written by the Grimms Brothers and illustrated by Maja Dusikovia. And asking the first guy you see when you wake up, "are you my prince? The horses, too, went to sleep in the stable, the dogs in the yard, the pigeons upon the roof, the flies on the wall, even the fire that was flaming on the hearth became quiet and slept, the roast meat left off frizzling, and the cook, who was just going to pull the hair of the scullery boy, because he had forgotten something, let him go, and went to sleep. Good day, old mother, said the king's daughter, what are you doing there.
But as soon as he kissed her, Briar-rose opened her eyes and awoke, and looked at him quite sweetly. Indo-European b shifted to Germanic p, d shifted to t, and g shifted to k. And when he entered the house, the flies were asleep upon the wall, the cook in the kitchen was still holding out his hand to seize the boy, and the maid was sitting by the black hen which she was going to pluck.

When that dream came true, the king and queen threw a grand party to celebrate her arrival.

Then he went on still farther, and all was so quiet that a breath could be heard, and at last he came to the tower, and opened the door into the little room where briar-rose was sleeping. The wise women's gifts were all fulfilled on the girl, for she was so beautiful, well behaved, friendly, and intelligent that everyone who saw her had to love her. But round about the castle there began to grow a hedge of thorns, which every year became higher, and at last grew close up round the castle and all over it, so that there was nothing of it to be seen, not even the flag upon the roof. There she lay, so beautiful that he could not turn his eyes away; and he stooped down and gave her a kiss.

Grimm 050: Little Brier-Rose 50 Little Brier-Rose Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm In past times there were a king and a queen, who said every day, "Oh, if only we had a child! One of the other fairies is able to soften the curse, dooming Sleeping Beauty only to a hundred years sleep. They were colorful and had a fair amount of detail and things to look at like the cross-section castle scenes , but they just seemed kind of ordinary overall, and I didn't think the princess was that pretty, which seems kind of like a requirement when it comes to a character referred to as Sleeping Beauty. By reading this, I came to know some more facts about story which I didn't know before. Sleeping Beauty would be a great dialog for open communication for the end of the book. One day it was revealed that they would have a princess. The feast was celebrated with great splendor, and at its conclusion the wise women presented the child with their magic gifts.
The couple throws a feast in celebration and appreciation for the gift of their new daughter - Briar Rose - but make the mistake of leaving one of the kingdom's thirteen fairies off the guest list. So she went round into all sorts of places, looked into rooms and bed-chambers just as she liked, and at last came to an old tower. We would like to see these pages enlarged there's so much detail we felt we couldn't fully appreciate them. Later, the princess of curiosity went into a closed door of the room, walked in front of a big spinning wheel, and picked up the spindle, and suddenly her hand was spindle punctured his hand, and then she fainted. My favorite painting or picture was where the prince finds Thorn Rose on the bed, sleeping.

It happened that on the very day when she was fifteen years old, the King and Queen were not at home, and the maiden was left in the palace quite alone. And then the prince's marriage to Little Brier-Rose was celebrated with great splendor, and they lived happily until they died. And this sleep extended over the whole palace; the King and Queen who had just come home, and had entered the great hall, began to go to sleep, and the whole of the court with them.
