Briar Rose
by Robert Coover
Briar Rose, a brilliant recreation of the timeless Sleeping Beauty
story, tells of a prince trapped in the briars; a sleeping beauty
who cannot awaken, dreaming of a succession of kissing princes;
and the old spell-casting fairy who inhabits the princess' dreams,
regaling her with legends of other sleeping beauties and trying
to imagine the nature of human desire.
