Synopsis: | A King and Queen give birth to a beautiful daughter and throw a party for guests to celebrate her arrival. They all bestow kind wishes and presents on the baby except for an uninvited guest who is angry at not being sent an invitation; she casts a spell on the baby that will send the child into a deep sleep on her 15th birthday after an accident with a spindle. The years pass and even though the King and Queen burn all the spindles, their daughter finds one in a secret room in the castle and pricks her thumb, sending her and the whole kingdom into a deep sleep. Legend grows in the land about a Sleeping Beauty who is in a deep sleep in an overgrown castle and so it falls to a Prince to awaken the beauty from her slumber. | |||||
