Sleeping Beauties: Sleeping Beauty and Snow White Tales From Around the World is now available on Amazon. It should begin appearing in other book retail sources over the next several weeks, at least as a special order.
This one topped out at 507 pages, so it costs a little more and it is THICK. Here's the preliminary table of contents, including 11 Sleeping Beauty and 41 Snow White tales.

It sounds AMAZING and I can't wait to buy it!!
ReplyDeleteI so wish it would be possible to get a digital version of this book! I've been looking for it for years, but the rare copies are really expensive and are impossible to get outside the US. The other books from this collection were also available in digital version, I'm curious to know why this one isn't.
