2 - Sleeping Beauty and what's really beneath true love's kiss
What if Sleeping Beauty didn't wake up from her sleep because of a kiss? What if the story doesn't end with a marriage and happily ever after? In this episode of Roots of Lore, we're exploring Charles Perrault's Sleeping Beauty and how this story connects to the Grimms, to Italian fairy tales, and possible even Icelandic legend.
