«El verdadero final de la bella durmiente» is the tale by Ana María Matute, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (121 pages, in Spanish).
Imagine what happens after the «happily ever after»: awakened by the prince, Sleeping Beauty marries him and settles in his kingdom, but real life does not stop and problems arise. Matute humanizes the fairy-tale characters with irony and a tone that can turn dark.
Volume 11 of the ABC collection of twentieth-century narrative in the Spanish language.
Recommended for readers interested in fairy-tale retellings and in the short fiction of Ana María Matute.
