Free audio version at Storynory
Listening Time : 8 min
This was as well narrated as all Storynory tales, but I have always disliked this tale for a number of reasons

Spoiler

putting the entire kingdom to sleep, prince kissing the unconscious princess, insta happy ever after, no moral

¿Pureza o madurez?
Creo que La Bella Durmiente tiene esos temas a flote permanentemente, es la historia de una niña que a sus 15 años caerá dormida y eso es inevitable, tan inevitable como la pubertad (cosa que también llega por esa edad).
En este cuento se tocan muchos detalles como lo que le pasa a las personas (y animales) del castillo, quienes deben dormir por 100 años.
Desde mi opinión personal es un buen cuento, un cuento que puede ser un poco fuerte para niños pequeños ya que se habla de cadáveres y soldados muertos, pero que deja un lindo mensaje y que obviamente tiene un buen final.

My favourite of The Grimm Fairytales.

Thrown into an endless sleep by a vengeful villain, Briar Rose can only be awoken by the kiss of her true love. Will he make it in time?!

Read it if you haven't, it's one for the fellow young at heart :)

The original version ended up being much more different than I thought.
