Praise for Sleeping Beauty
"So perfect are the Pre-Raphaelite details and gestures that it's easy to imagine Kinuko Craft's . . . paintings hanging in a gallery. Her husband Mahlon Craft's enhanced version of Sleeping Beauty affords wide scope for the artist's romanticism. . . . Families aiming to assemble a library of classic fairy tales may well settle on this as the definitive Sleeping Beauty." — Publishers Weekly, starred review

The phrasing and vocabulary are appropriately formal and the pacing is dramatic, with pivotal moments commanding full-page spreads. A thoroughly enchanting and luxurious addition for any fairy-tale collection." — School Library Journal
