Written by Charles Perrault and brought to life through the expressive artwork of Peter Costanza, this issue captures the magic and melancholy of the original story. The cover, a striking tribute by Dik Browne, sets the scene with a classic, whimsical touch.
In this timeless tale from *Classics Illustrated Junior #505*, a princess is cursed by a spiteful fairy after being overlooked at her christening, dooming her to a century-long sleep after pricking her finger on a spinning wheel. Sixteen years later, a brave prince journeys through a thorny, enchanted forest to find her, drawn by the legend of a sleeping beauty.
In a tale spun from classic fairy tale charm, a prince determined to wed only a true princess puts a mysterious young woman to the ultimate test—sleeping on a bed piled with twenty mattresses, with a single pea hidden beneath. When she wakes, she claims the hard object kept her awake, a sensitivity only a real princess could possess. The story, adapted from a timeless legend, unfolds with quiet wonder and a touch of whimsy.
