Summary:
"The tale is told as if it's happening once upon a dream: the lovely maiden meets her handsome prince. The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the maiden learns she is a princess--one who has been cursed by a dark fairy to fall into an eternal sleep. Though her three good fairies try to protect her, the princess succumbs to the curse. But the power of good endures, as her prince defeats the fire-breathing dragon and awakens the princess with True Love's Kiss. Yet this is only half the story. So what of the dark fairy, Maleficent? Why does she curse the innocent princess? Why does she curse the innocent princess? Many tales have tried to explain her motives. Here is one account, pulled down from the many passed down through the ages. It is a tale of love and betrayal, of magic and reveries. It is a tale of the mistress of all evil"--Back cover.
