About the Author:
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born in 1785 and 1786 near Frankfurt, Germany. In their early twenties, they began the linguistic studies that would culminate in their collected editions of folk- and fairy tales. They got their stories from peasants and villagers, and sometimes from already-published works from other cultures. Jacob did much of the research; Wilhelm put the stories into literary form.
Maja Dusikovaa was born in Piestany, Czechoslovakia, and now lives in Florence, Italy. She has illustrated many books for both children and adults, including The Advent Storybook and Silent Night, Holy Night.
From Booklist:
Maja Dusikovaa was born in Piestany, Czechoslovakia, and now lives in Florence, Italy. She has illustrated many books for both children and adults, including The Advent Storybook and Silent Night, Holy Night.
Presenting the story of Sleeping Beauty, this lovely picture book sticks pretty closely to Briar Rose, the Grimm brothers’ version of the traditional fairy tale. A frog tells a childless queen that she will bear a daughter. At the girl’s christening, an uninvited fairy utters a death curse, which another fairy amends. As foretold, at age 15, the princess pricks her finger on a spindle and sleeps for 100 years, along with everyone in the castle, which is soon protected by a lethal, thorny hedge. After 100 years, a prince finds the now-flowering hedge, which opens to let him pass. He awakens Sleeping Beauty with a kiss, and the court celebrates their wedding. Though the translator is not credited, the graceful text reads aloud well. Dusíková’s delicate line-and-watercolor illustrations capture the drama and mystery of the tale, while portraying the characters with individuality and including details for children to discover. A new edition of an old tale that is familiar, yet strange, and strangely powerful. Grades K-3. --Carolyn Phelan
