In European mythology, they appear in multiple forms: stories of fabled warriors resting under mountains or on enchanted isles until it is time for them to return to serve their city or country in the time of greatest need—though if England hasn’t actually faced its greatest need yet, I shudder to think what it would take to bring King Arthur back to its shores. "Good day, mother," said the princess, "what are you doing?". Pick your favorite and start reading! Oh, did I not mention that in this version, Prince Charming isn’t just a rapist, he’s an already married rapist, who has the nerve to complain after cheating on her with Talia that his wife didn’t bring him a dowry when he got married. And when he saw her looking so lovely in her sleep, he could not turn away his eyes; and presently he stooped and kissed her, and she awaked, and opened her eyes, and looked very kindly on him. Also also the story ends with an implication that Talia, this king, and their kids end up in a rather incestuous foursome, which, this story. The good old man tried to dissuade him, but he would not listen to his words. Stories of women sleeping in caves, in mountains, and in towers. The old man had been told by his grandfather that many king's sons had sought to pass the thorn-hedge, but had been caught and pierced by the thorns, and had died a miserable death. It’s a cheerful little story of a girl who in this version is not quite a princess, only the daughter of a lord, who, after pricking her finger on a bit of flax and swooning, is placed on a lovely canopied bed in nice country mansion. Then the wedding of the Prince and Rosamond was held with all splendour, and they lived very happily together until their lives' end. Stories of enchanted sleepers stretch well back into ancient times. All comments must meet the community standards outlined in Tor.com's Moderation Policy or be subject to moderation. Notes: This fairy tale collection contains 52 of the Grimm's fairy tales. Talia undresses and utters screams of grief with each piece of clothing. What friendship? The queen agrees. One day, the girl cannot find her mother's breast; instead she begins to suck on Talia's finger and draws the flax splinter out. And speaking of oddities, in this version, after the fairy puts all of the servants and nobles at the court to sleep so that Sleeping Beauty won’t feel alone when she wakes up, the king and queen just…ride off. And the horses in the yard got up and shook themselves, the hounds sprang up and wagged their tails, the pigeons on the roof drew their heads from under their wings, looked round, and flew into the field, the flies on the wall crept on a little farther, the kitchen fire leapt up and blazed, and cooked the meat, the joint on the spit began to roast, the cook gave the scullion such a box on the ear that he roared out, and the maid went on plucking the fowl. The Sleeping Beauty is a European folktale. published by Macmillan and Company in 1886. In more positive changes, the prince in this version doesn’t even kiss Sleeping Beauty to wake her up: he just kneels in front of her. Between this and Snow White, I’m beginning to have some serious doubts about fairy tale kings and their choice in sexual partners, is all I’m saying. Still deep in sleep, nine months after the incident, Talia becomes pregnant and gives birth to twins, (a boy and a girl).
