Is there a written version of 'Sleeping Beauty', or is it an oral fairy tale? Because I need to do some research, I think. Strategy. Tactics. That sort of thing.

Or maybe I'll just watch the Disney movie.

The earliest known written version of "Sleeping Beauty" was published in 1636 by an Italian man by the name of Giambattista Basile. 61 years later, there would a republishing of the story in the book "Tales of Times Past" (modernly known as "Mother Goose Tales") by Charles Perrault. However, Perrault greatly altered the stories, cleaning them up for a broader audience.

If you would like the original plot of the story of "Sleeping Beauty", I would be happy to e-mail it to you; it just doesn't happen to be suitable for young readers. Actually, it's kind of disgusting.
