The New York Times bestselling and Newbery Award-winning author tells a "brilliant tale of a sumptuous world" (New York Times Book Review)
All the creatures of the forest and field and riverbank knew the infant was special. She was the princess, spirited away from the evil fairy Pernicia on her name-day. But the curse was cast: Rosie was fated to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a poisoned sleep--a slumber from which no one would be able to rouse her.Author Biography
