[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* Norwegian children's author Zinken Hopp (probably inspired by the fact that she'd earlier translated ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' to Norwegian) wrote a couple of extremely surreal nonsense books about a couple of boys named Jon and Sofus. The second of these books, simply titled ''Jon and Sofus,'' has the two boys ending up in Sleeping Beauty's castle and discovering all the sleeping people and animals. They briefly consider kissing the princess and waking everyone up, but decide against it in favor of [[MoneyDearBoy turning the castle into a tourist attraction and making a lot of money by giving guided tours of the castle and showing the tourists "the famous Sleeping Beauty,"]] strictly forbidding anyone from kissing the princess because then she'd wake up and ruin their entire business. Towards the end of the book, after a lot of misadventures, the princess is kissed and woken up by a gas station attendant who sneaks into the castle, and Jon and Sofus end up having to flee the castle when it turns out that she is ''not'' happy about being made into a tourist attraction while she slept.

--> The actual outlines of the rest of the form were so indistinct, that the more than semi-opacity of the alabaster seemed insufficient to account for the fact; and I conjectured that a light robe added its obscurity. Numberless histories passed through my mind of change of substance from enchantment and other causes, and of imprisonments such as this before me. I thought of the Prince of the Enchanted City, half marble and half a man; of Ariel; of Niobe; of the Sleeping Beauty in the Wood; of the bleeding trees; and many other histories. Even my adventure of the preceding evening with the lady of the beech-tree contributed to arouse the wild hope, that by some means life might be given to this form also, and that, breaking from her alabaster tomb, she might glorify my eyes with her presence. “For,” I argued, “who can tell but this cave may be the home of Marble, and this, essential Marble—that spirit of marble which, present throughout, makes it capable of being moulded into any form? Then if she should awake! But how to awake her? A kiss awoke the Sleeping Beauty! a kiss cannot reach her through the incrusting alabaster.” I kneeled, however, and kissed the pale coffin;
