The tale is told as if it's happening once upon a dream: the lovely maiden meets her handsome prince in the woods. The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the maiden finds out that she is a princess—a princess who has been cursed by a dark fairy to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into an eternal sleep. Though her three good fairies try to protect her, the princess succumbs to the curse. But the power of good endures, as her true love defeats the fire-breathing dragon and awakens the princess with true love's first kiss. The two live happily ever after. And yet this is only half the story. So what of the dark fairy, Maleficent? Why does she curse the innocent princess? What led to her becoming so filled with malice, anger, and hatred? Many tales have tried to explain her motives. Here is one account, pulled down from the many passed down through the ages. It is a tale of love and betrayal, of magic and reveries. It is a tale of the Mistress of All Evil.

"This is a very short read, but I think that it is interesting. This book is basically talking about the story of Maleficent and why she chose to curse Aurora. It basically flips the story of Maleficent and Aurora around and makes Maleficent seem less like the villain, because it helps you understand her motives, and why she did it. It gives background to their story, and honestly it made me like Maleficent a lot more even though she's a villain. It also includes a lot of famous fairies and well as places other famous fairy tales into one book. It kind of felt like "Once Upon a Time" if you've ever seen it. The "hero" isn't always the good guy either I'm pretty sure it's an 8-book Villian series, but they don't have to be read in any specific order *"

"This series is so good. They're all pretty quick reads (I finished all 7 books in about 2 weeks) but they tell incredible new versions of stories you thought you knew."
