Synopsis (taken
from front flap)
Errol Le Cain has chosen Thorn Rose, the Grimm Brother's version
of the story of the Sleeping Beauty, as the subject of his new
picture book, and his illustrations are the most beautiful,
haunting and imaginative that even this gifted artist has produced.
Rich and varied in colour and full of delightful and unexpected
details, they create a fairytale world of magic and marvels
to which children will want to return to again and again...
