Princess Danielle's life in the fairy-tale land of Fenmore Falls has been overshadowed by a secret bargain with a wizard - a bargain that allowed her to be born. At the royal ball the night before her sixteenth birthday, a shocking comment by a stranger forces Danielle's father, the king, to tell her the details of the curse. Trying to protect her, he sends her through a magic door to a peculiar place called Idaho. Instead of a castle and horse-drawn carriages, Danielle's new world has cars and trucks, and a school named Shelley High. Taken in by Dorothy, a woman who knows Danielle's true identity, the princess-in-hiding struggles to live like an average teenager. She quickly becomes friends with Dorothy's daughter, Abby, and finds herself drawn to their cute neighbor, Nate. As time passes, Danielle realizes how nice it is to be known for herself, rather than as a princess. But suddenly the curse returns with a vengeance and so do her enemies. In order to survive, she must rely on her new friends, as well as some old ones from Fenmore Falls. Through it all, she discovers her inner strength and the power of true love.

This is the first Comics based on the most important performances of the Carlo Colla & Sons Marionette Company, that has been working for more than two centuries in the theatrical field and is actually one of the oldest groups still in activity.Its tradition has been, and is still today, an expression of the Italian culture and of the historical and social development of our country. Its progression alongside two hundred years of Italian history combines the theatrical component and the handmade work, whose specific techniques are now used in our laboratories (sculpture, carpentry, tailoring, scenography, hairdressing, etc.) for the productions of the new shows and are themselves part of the Immaterial Cultural Heritage.Why “Sleeping Beauty"? Because of our attachment to fairy tales, those told in books and those that are inside each one of us, where time and space do not exist, where good and evil are determined and circumscribed, not fluctuating and inscrutable as in real life; and where harmony always triumphs. Besides, we want to visually celebrate a literary genre that was created for adults and over time was unfairly restricted to the world of infancy for an erroneous and widespread conviction that confuses the taste for "narration" with the fantastic appeal to children's imagination.
