Prince Phillip is resigned to marrying the Princess and keeping her safe for the rest of his life, but he is definitely not happy about it - he feels he has no identity besides his role as protector. A few weeks for his impending doom, when he and his squire Johanna are attacked, Phillips’ previously unknown magic is also released, bringing in his own three fairies who are determined to teach despite his protests. What he hasn’t ever told anyone is that every night he also dreams of a girl - a sarcastic girl who never cuts him any slack.


I loved this deep dive into Prince Phillip’s side of the Sleeping Beauty story.  I think this would make a great movie! I have a few kids who have discovered the Twisted Tales - hopefully, they will enjoy these also.
