The Sleeping Beauty is one of the great fairy tales that one generation repeats to another, and the figure of the beautiful princess asleep in the forgotten castle continues to stir us deeply. Trina Schart Hyman's illustrations for this retelling have earned her a place in the company of the great romantic illustrators of our time. Her work makes us feel the king's delight with his lovely daughter and profound despair at the curse that will take her from him; makes us almost smell the musty odors of the neglected castle; and, most of all, compels us to rejoice at love's triumph over the dark power of revenge.
