"Elizabeth Blackwell's writing is magical in this complex, dark, and sensual retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Imaginative, evocative, full of surprises, this is a captivating debut. And like all great fairy tales, this one has the kind of happy ending that requires tissues to wipe away the tears." - M.J. Rose, international bestselling author of Seduction
From the success of Wicked (both the book and the Broadway musical) to ABC's Once Upon A Time, to the feature film Snow White And The Huntsman, it is clear that there is a vast audience for modern-day takes on fairy tales. Those people will sure to be delighted by Elizabeth Blackwell's While Beauty Slept, a new re-imagining of the story of Sleeping Beauty.

Full of palace intrigue, betrayal, romance and switched identities, While Beauty Slept truly does have it all for the fairy tale fans. (Putnam)
