The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood

Step into Charles Perrault’s timeless fairy tale of magic, love, and destiny — The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood. When a beautiful princess is cursed by an offended fairy to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into an enchanted sleep for a hundred years, the entire kingdom slumbers with her. Hidden behind an impenetrable forest of thorns, the palace waits — silent, forgotten, and alive with magic.

A century later, a brave young prince discovers the mysterious castle and awakens the princess with a kiss, beginning a tale that unfolds far beyond the familiar happily ever after. Filled with wonder, peril, and the haunting beauty of true love’s endurance, this classic version of Sleeping Beauty remains one of the most elegant and captivating fairy tales ever written.

Narrated by Julie Ann Marra, this rendition captures the story’s full charm — from its enchanted beginnings to its darker, lesser-known conclusion.
