A JOY TO READ, (L Carroll, Language Arts Teacher) The author's use of imagery makes the story realistic and engaging. The illustrations enhance the story and allow you to see the characters through the author's eyes. Reading the story took me back to a favorite childhood memory of reading fairytales, and this one was a delight. Both adults and children of all ages will enjoy reading Briar Rose, The Sleeping Beauty. MAGICAL!, (R. Livingston, Attorney, Collector) This is an imaginative and beautifully written retelling of the Sleeping Beauty tale. The writing is impeccable and the illustrations are so lovely! Love this book and will treasure it always. SO WELL WRITTEN!, (C. Jones, Library Director) I ordered a signed copy from the author, and the book does not disappoint. The story is retold in modern language with some additions that make the story more interesting. The illustrations are also gorgeous! I'm so glad I ordered a hardback copy, because this book is a treasure.
