The last fairy to bestow her gift, promises the king and queen Aurora will not die, just fall into a deep sleep. The old fairy dooms Aurora on her 16th birthday by saying she’ll prick her finger on a thorn and she will die.

Angrily, she shows up to the christening celebration in the middle of the gift giving. There are 12 fairies invited, but the king purposely overlooks the 13th fairy because he doesn’t have enough gold place settings- a requirement when fairies are invited. The classic enchantment provides readers with fairies, a spell that can only be broken by true love, “a chariot of fire drawn by dragons”, the transformation of characters from one likeness to another, and of course the happy ending! When a king and queen have a baby girl, the celebration begins. Show More unique because of their attention to detail.
