About this product

Product Information

Before E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey and Sylvia Day's Bared to You , there was Anne Rice's New York Times best seller The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty In the traditional folktale of "Sleeping Beauty," the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. In the first book of the series, Anne Rice (author of Beauty's Kingdom ), writing as A.N. Roquelaure, retells the Beauty story and probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him . . . as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience. Readers of Fifty Shades of Grey will indulge in Rice's deft storytelling and imaginative eroticism, a sure-to-be classic for years to come. "Articulate, baroque, and fashionably pornographic." -- Playboy "Something very special . . . at once so light and yet so haunting." -- The Advocate

Sleeping Beauty Tale Part One
I read this on an acquaintance's recommendation. If you are a fan of erotic fiction, it is very well told. However, it definitely leaves you hanging with a "to be continued" and might be better purchased with the full trilogy. Every tale involves spanking. So if this is not your cup of tea, your better off to find a different book. It is at it's heart a fairy tale and as such requires a willing suspension of disbelief beyond what perhaps a normal erotic fiction book might. Beauty is rather flighty going from this person to that without much of an established emotional connection. The Prince is awesome! By far the in charge no nonsense hero. The main character is more of the setting in which they all find themselves. The rules, customs, and training that takes place in the kingdom far outshines any individual persona. There is a head nod on two different places for the safe, sane, and consensual guide lines---but this is far from an injected element of realism. I will look forward to reading the next two in the series.Read full review

Freaks are out around the clock
These books have everything sexual possible in them. Not for all, however if your imagination is vivid and your not shy or afraid to think in new ways. there is a lot to picture in your mind with these books. Fifty shades of grey is mild compared to these books.

Don’t buy it
The book was visibly used. The cover/edition was different than the one advertised in the picture. Content is poor too. Really bad erotica. Do not recommend.

OK for long form literature of its genre
Good condition. Fiction is slow moving and a little more emphasis on humiliation and subjugation than appeals to me.
