A fairy tale is like a sweet home,
but on the door is written:
"Be careful"!
Mats Ek
All fairy tales have something in common: princesses, witch, king and queen, princes, the good and the evil. But every fairy tales have also something very special, a dark point, where something inexplicable happen. In "Sleeping Beauty", the mystic point is for me the prick and the sleep that follows. What does it mind, what's happen there?
