'BEAUTY is a beautifully
illustrated retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story which takes all the
elements of the classic fairytale that we love (the handsome prince, the
ancient curse, the sleeping girl and, of course, the haunting castle)
and puts a modern spin on the characters, their motives and their
desires. It's fun, contemporary, sexy, and perfect for fans of ONCE UPON
A TIME, GRIMM, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN and more.' - Goodreads
No blurb but it's enough info to know that I definitely want to read this version of Sleeping Beauty!
What are you waiting for?
