"Illustrations based on Arthur Rackham's paintings appearing in the 1920 edition of Sleeping Beauty, published by William Heineman, London, and J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia, and in The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, published by Doubleday, Page & Co. in New York in 1909"--Title page verso.
Ida, or Sleeping Beauty -- Maya, or waking beauty -- Atlas, or a lad at last -- Sleeping, waking, revising.
"In this subversive retelling of the magical tale of 'Sleeping Beauty,' Rebecca Solnit shifts the focus from the girl who slept for a hundred years to her sister who stayed awake--and to a poor boy whose story stumbled into theirs. Waking beauty tells of each child's adventures and obstacles: of Maya, the inspiring, extraordinary artist and changemaker who 'found [beauty] everywhere and gave it to everyone' ; of Atlas, who guarded golden apples and was definitely not a prince; and of Ida, who dreamed for a century and work up in a very different world"--Back cover.
