This is one of my favorite books, so much so that I will not get rid of my copy. This book is a major twist on the story of Sleeping Beauty, with a few other fairy tales along the way. The main character (Beauty) manages to escape the curse placed by her stepmother. She learns of her fairy heritage, goes to find her mother (a fairy, and travels forward in time to live in the 20th and 21st centuries. There is a warning written into this story for the future of mankind. I definitely recommend this book to adults, as it is not a book for younger children.
