Sleeping Beauty Castle (Little Princess Series)

The Sleeping Beauty Castle

"The Sleeping Beauty" ("The Beauty sleeping in the Wood") by Charles Perrault or 

"Little Briar Rose" by the Brothers Grimm is a classic fairytale involving a 

beautiful princess, enchantment of sleep, and a handsome prince.

This fairy tale is classified as Aarne-Thompson type.

The princess's name has been unstable. In Sun, Moon, and Talia, she is named Talia 

("Sun" and "Moon" being her twin children). Perrault removed this, leaving her 

anonymous, although naming her daughter "L'Aurore". The Brothers Grimm named her 

"Briar Rose" in their 1812 collection. This transfer was taken up by Disney in the 

film, which also called her Aurora. John Stejean named her "Rosebud" in TeleStory 

Presents.
