SLEEPING BEAUTY Illustrated by Ruth Sanderson Ariel/Knopf 1986 ISBN# 0-394-55431-0 Knopf hardcover

I wrote this book as a favor to Ruth Sanderson, the artist, because the packager, Ariel, was having trouble writing the book in-house. Ruth had almost completed the paintings when it became clear that someone would have to retell the story who could write around the art work. My husband posed for the king, my daughter for the orange fairy, and if you look closely enough, you can see that I posed for the cook who is seen in two of the glorious illustrations.

I also did WHERE HAVE THE UNICORNS GONE? with Ruth.

       Out of print.

 

Ruth and me, when we both younger. Whitney, the youngest, is Ruth's daughter.

I loan myself out as model for the cook.
