EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time, in a land steeped in history and legend, a curious tale unfolded before the enchanting eyes of those who dared to peer into the pages of a forgotten fairy tale book. In this image by the renowned illustrator Arthur Rackham, we find ourselves on the precipice of a fateful encounter between Princess Briar Rose, also known as Sleeping Beauty, and the wicked old fairy. The silhouette of the princess, clad in the finest royal attire, is illuminated by the soft glow of the moonlight as she approaches the ominous door. The door, adorned with intricate carvings of roses and thorns, stands as a symbol of both beauty and danger. The legend of the spindle and the sleeping curse looms large, casting a foreboding shadow over the scene. As the princess reaches for the key, her delicate fingers hovering above the lock, a sense of curiosity and trepidation fills the air. The silhouette of the wicked fairy, with her gnarled features and sharp, pointed hat, can be seen in the background, her eyes gleaming with malice and mischief. This hauntingly beautiful image, created by Arthur Rackham in the early 1920s, transports us back in time to an era of enchantment and wonder. The tale of Sleeping Beauty, with its intricate twists and turns, continues to captivate and inspire generations, leaving us with a sense of wonder and curiosity about the stories that lie hidden within the pages of history.
