In this reimagining of "Sleeping Beauty," a prince finds himself ensnared in thorns while the princess remains in an endless slumber, haunted by dreams of various kissing princes. The narrative delves into the intricacies of desire through the perspective of the fairy who cast the spell, as she shares tales of other enchanted maidens and reflects on the nature of human longing. Coover's interpretation blends fantasy with deep psychological exploration, offering a fresh take on classic themes of love and enchantment.
