Briar Rose, The Sleeping Beauty - 8711

'After a moment, the fish came to the surface of the water, and to the amazement of everyone there, the fish spoke. It said to Queen Adelaide, “I know what it is that you wish for. You have spoken of it many times with your maids here by this brook and we have heard your words. You wish to have a child of your own.” The Queen nodded, still astonished but fascinated. The little fish spoke once more saying, “Before the year ends, your wish will come true.” With that, the little fish swam away into the darkness of the pool.' A lovely baby princess is born to the King and Queen. She grows up to be a beautiful, sweet and talented young girl, but out of revenge, an evil fairy casts a spell on her and she falls into a hundred-year sleep. Prince Devon, a brave youth, sets out on a quest to find that which is most beautiful in all the lands. Join Devon on his adventures.
