the real sleeping beauty?

answers1: sorry kiddo but this is a fairy tale...and that's it... <br>
<br>
Sleeping Beauty ("La Belle au Bois dormant" (The Sleeping Beauty in
the Wood)) is a fairy tale classic, the first in the set published in
1697 by Charles Perrault, Contes de ma Mère l'Oye ("Mother Goose
Tales"). <br>
<br>
While Perrault's version is better known, an older variant, the tale
Sun, Moon, and Talia, was contained in Giambattista Basile's
Pentamerone (published 1634). Professor J. R. R. Tolkien noted that
Perrault's cultural presence is so pervasive that, when asked to name
a fairy tale, most people will cite one of the eight stories in
Perrault's collection. Since Tolkien's generation, however, the most
familiar Sleeping Beauty in the English speaking world has become the
Walt Disney animated film (1959), which draws as much from the Pyotr
Ilyich Tchaikovsky ballet (Saint Petersburg, 1890) as from Perrault.

answers4: I don't know where you can find the "original," but if
you're looking for some good entertainment, read: <br>
<br>
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, <br>
Beauty's Punishment, and <br>
Beauty's Release <br>
<br>
by A. N. Roquelaure (Anne Rice) <br>
<br>
Be warned, though, that these are books with... mature subject matter.
Not for kids or teenagers.

Personally, I own the The Dover edition, first published in 1969,
which contains eight stories by Charles Perrault (including Sleeping
Beauty) originally published by Perrault in Paris in 1697, and was
reasonably priced. Check out www.doverpublications.com.
