книга "Sleeping Beauty" — Кэролайн ЛэйдлоуSleeping Beauty. Давным-давно в далекой стране жили король и королева. Много лет они мечтали о ребенке, и наконец их желание исполнилось — у них родилась дочь, которую назвали Авророй. Но обиженная злая фея наложила заклятие на Авророй. И однажды она заснула вечным сном. Сможет ли кто-то разбудить ее? Конечно, это может сделать только прекрасный принц!
At the christening of a king and queen's long-wished-for child, seven fairies are invited to be godmothers to the infant princess. At the banquet back at the palace, the fairies seat themselves with a golden casket containing golden jeweled utensils laid before them. However, a wicked fairy who was overlooked, having been within a certain tower for many years and thought to be either dead or enchanted, enters and is offered a seating, but not a golden casket since only seven were made. The fairies then offer their gifts of beauty, wit, grace, dance, song and ability of musical instruments. The old fairy then places the princess under an enchantment as her gift: the princess will prick her hand on a spindle and die. One last fairy has yet to give her gift and uses it to partially reverse the wicked fairy's curse, proclaiming that the princess will instead fall into a deep sleep for 100 years and be awoken by a king's son. |
