In the Secret Palace hidden deep in Magic Thorn Wood,
Princess Beauty was sleeping.

Under the 100 year spell of the wicked Fairy Nightshade
and the poisoned spinning wheel, she awaited
the handsome Prince who alone could revive her.

There was a double dose of comedy as crazy servants
Bubble and Squeak noticed Mop and Brushup, those
argumentative palace maids from a bygone century.

A shaggy four legged Sir Lancelot added horseplay

and Queen Maria made a not very majestic
but highly amusing Pantomime Dame.

You met also the bumbling Wizard Wombosa,



King Wimple, Queen Grandilla,

Nurse Cecilia

and a full supporting cast and chorus
of fairies, ghosts, elves and animals.
