Sleeping Beauty in the Wood

In this episode of Tales of Bedlam, Micah and Andrea explore Charles Perrault’s enchanting tale, Sleeping Beauty in the Wood. This is not your typical bedtime story—our hosts retell this 17th-century classic with updated language, comedic commentary, and modern sensibilities.

You’ll follow the cursed princess, her overprotective royal parents, and a vengeful fairy with serious invitation FOMO. Discover the magical logistics of a 100-year nap, the ethics of enchanted sleep consent, and whether seven-league boots make for speedy rescue missions. Spoiler: there’s also a dragon-chariot.

This episode blends classic fairy tale magic with sharp, entertaining banter—perfect for fans of folklore, dark twists, and a little ridiculousness.

What do you think about the old fairy’s 100-year sentence? Was the good fairy just lazy—or mathematically challenged?
