The fourth picture-book I have read from Early, following upon William Tell, Romeo and Juliet, and Walter McVitty's Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, which she illustrated, Sleeping Beauty is undoubtedly my favorite, of the lot. The retelling doesn't really cover any new ground, but it is engaging, while the artwork simply shines. The text is given on the left-hand side of every two-page spread, and the full-page paintings on the right. Both text and paintings are enclosed in beautifully ornate decorative borders. According to the author's afterword, the story was intended by Charles Perrault to be set at the Château d'Ussé, in the Loire Valley, in France, and that is reflected in the artwork. The ornate interior scenes were inspired by the château that once belonged to Early's French Huguenot ancestors. In the end, the entire book is just lovely, and is one I would recommend to fairy-tale devotees, as well as to fans of the artist. ( )
