Sleeping Beauty, 1965 but later 606d facsimile ed

Sleeping Beauty, first published 1965.  illustrated by Eric Winter and written by Vera Southgate.  This was the 3rd title in the popular original Well-Loved Tales series, 606d.

Winter works his usual magic to create a beautiful tale – the princess’s butter-yellow dress with the long, droopy sleeves made a deep impression on me – as did the vicious thorns on the magic forest which tore the tights of the knights who failed the mission.

PLEASE NOTE

This is a facsimile edition, from the 21st century.  It looks like an old copy – but that’s because it’s intended to.

This copy:

Facsimile edition in brand new condition – it’s still wrapped in its original retail cellophane.

It would suit someone who wants an immaculate condition copy, perhaps to give as a gift, rather than a purist book collector.
