Asked before, in Drawing and Illustration, didn't get any answers.

As far as I can remember:

It was in my eighth-grade literature book, which I remember had a cover with a raised design of pomegranates on the back; it covered most of two pages, at the start of a section on, I think, folk tales, and I think there was a caption below asking if you could guess what tale it came from. It's the scene where she meets the fairy in the tower and watches her spin, before pricking her finger and falling asleep. There are several cats, and a barn owl on a rafter in the top left corner. Sleeping Beauty stands on the left side of the picture and looks at the fairy with an expression that seems considering, or at least it did to me; her hair is sort of orange-blond, and I think she's wearing a pink dress. The fairy, dressed in black, sits spinning on the right side of the picture, and faces outward.
