About this book

The evil fairy Pernicia has set a curse on Princess Briar-Rose: she is fated to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into an endless, poisoned sleep. Katriona, a young fairy, kidnaps the princess in order to save her; she and her aunt raise the child in their small village, where no one knows her true identity. But Pernicia is looking for her, intent on revenge for a defeat four hundred years old. Robin McKinley's masterful version of Sleeping Beauty is, like all of her work, a remarkable literary feat.

About Unknown Author

Robin, with his wife Cindy, started their ministry as a children’s evangelists beginning in the early 1980s. During that time they developed some children’s stories which were told using visuals and puppets. Robin developed two of those stories into children’s books. The first one, called “The Contest” teaches children about the Fruit of the Spirit. The other one, called “Twas the Night of Christmas” poetically tells the story of the night Jesus was born. After journaling for many years Robin was encouraged to share his thoughts in a devotional book. He called these devotions, “3 Minutes, Alone with God.” He has published 5 volumes, each containing 50 entries. He continues writing devotional articles and posts them on his website called Christian Perspectives found at www.ramckinley.com.
