No, I picked this up at that sprawling barn-based bookstore I told you about, the one on the coast. It only cost a dollar and was in perfect condition: definitely money well-spent.
And yes to everything you said about the way the fairy tale rescue highlights the extreme, near-impossible circumstances it took to survive. And it captures the weight of the town's curse, which is a different Sleeping Beauty twist--they willfully slept, ignoring what they should have stopped, and now they have to live with that forever.
