About

In Briar Rose", better known as "Sleeping Beauty" seven good fairies are invited to be godmothers to the infant princess. An old, overlooked fairy feels slighted and puts a deadly curse on the princess. A kind fairy modulates the curse from death to 100 years of deep sleep which can be terminated by the kiss of a handsome prince. This combination of princess, sleep enchantment and prince exists in multiple folk tales going back as early as the narrative Perceforest, composed between 1330 and 1344 and first printed in 1528.
