To celebrate over 25 years of telling tales I have decided to re - issue the very first fairy-story I ever adapted and set to music. It came about after being given an enchanting book by P. L. Travers entitled All About the Sleeping Beauty in which the author delves into the rich symbolism and mystery of the this classic tale and it's continuing relevance and applicability to us all.

'What is it in us that at a certain moment suddenly falls asleep,' she asks. 'Who lies hidden within us. And who will come at last to awaken us, what aspect of ourselves?   
To give an answer, supposing we had it, would break the law of the fairy tale. And perhaps no answer is necessary. It is enough that we ponder upon and love the story and ask ourselves the question.'
