More on Sleeping Beauty:

Spinning wheels, wicked fairies, beautiful princesses, strange enchantments, overgrown castles, heroic princes - what else could it be but that most magical of fairytales, Sleeping Beauty.

When King Roland the Uncertain and Queen Priscilla forget to invite the temperamental Faerie of the Earth, Cara Bossi (and she is!), to the christening of Princess Beauty, she casts a terrible spell on the babe: she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel on her 18th birthday – and die! Thanks to the intervention of Polly, the Faerie of the Sky, Beauty avoids her fate and instead, falls into a deep, deep sleep . . .

But Beauty's sleep goes on much longer than Polly had planned. And when Polly finally awakens Nurse Nancy and Fester the Jester and sends them off in search of a Prince to release the slumbering Princess from the spell, they find that the world has changed. Quite a bit. It's the 1970s. And where are Nancy and Fester going to find a Prince . . .  in Discoland?
