Briar Rose is a blend of traditional and modern elements in literature. It has antecedents in classical fairy-tale tradition, in the nineteenth-century works of the Brothers Grimm and the twentieth-century tales of fantasy by C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Like earlier tales, the novel relies upon such conventions as a magical spell, a curse, a quest, a strange land, a heroic confrontation with the forces of evil. The novel has its basis specifically in the German tale Briar Rose, also known by the title of Sleeping Beauty in the Wood.
