At the christening of a long-wished-for princess, fairies invited as godmothers offered gifts, such as beauty, wit, and musical talent. However, a wicked fairy who had been overlooked placed the princess under an enchantment as her gift, saying that, on reaching adulthood, she would prick her finger on a spindle and die. A good fairy, though unable to completely reverse the spell, said that the princess would instead sleep for a hundred years, until awakened by the kiss of a prince.

Review
"I like these illustrated Children's Classics. I'm a great fan of comics and the comic strip and I think these books offer a good way for young readers to get into some of the greatest stories ever told. My three-year old was particularly keen on the Goldilocks one and has asked for it again and again!"

I read this when I was a child and eagerly bought it for my nephew. These comics are a great introduction to books for children while the more adult Classics series is great to introduce time honoured classic novels like Treasure Island and Jungle Book to the new generation. The drawings are just not as pretty as they used to be - there was a smoothness and softness to them which is lacking, The colours seem a bit garish.Also the font is a bit small and difficult to read. Maybe it's changes in printing technology but overall a disappointment.
