Sleeping Beauty cover

A beautifully illustrated, magical retelling of one of the most beloved fairy tales.

Once upon a time, there was a girl called Rosebud, a beautiful princess born to the happiest King and Queen in all the land. But aged sixteen, she pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and enters a hundred-year sleep. Add to the story some fairies, an enchanted forest and an unbreakable curse…but how will it all end?

An enchanting combination of classic retelling and contemporary illustrations for young readers.

Praise for The Princess Who Had No Kingdom, illustrated by Sarah Gibb: 'If you're going to enter the rococo Neverland of poor-but-deserving princesses searching for Mr Right among assorted prince Wrongs, you might as well do it with the skill and aplomb of Ursula Jones and Sarah Gibb.' Financial Times 'An old-fashioned, romantic fairy tale with Crabtree and Evelyn decorative elegance, detailed silhouettes, and bronze gilding. Such outstanding prettiness with substance is rare, but this will win any girlie heart.' Sunday Times
