“I was a princess in a castle in an enchanted forest. A terrible haze fell, and we all fell asleep. But the prince kissed me, and I woke up. Only me.
Since childhood, Rebecca was fascinated by a fairy tale about the sleeping beauty, which was so often told to her by Grandma Gemma. However, on the deathbed, Gemma suddenly admits that the fairy -tale Princess Skivnik is herself. Rebecca promises to fulfill the last grandmother"s will: to find the castle, the prince and the one who put the spell.
Jane Yolen retells the plot of the ancient fairy tale “Princess Skivnik”, better known as “Sleeping Beauty”, transferring events to the Polish forests of the summer of 1942. How can this be combined? Cruel historical reality with death camps, doomed partisans, poisonous gas - and a fairy tale about the princess, which the prince’s kiss aroused from a centuries -old sleep.
Neat, without excessive sentimentality, and at the same time a piercing book about good and evil, hope and despair.
And, of course, about love
