LUCY Baggott, co-owner of Wychwood Books in Sheep Street, Stow, is looking the part of Sleeping Beauty for a special exhibition running from October 6 to 21 at the antiquarian and second-hand bookshop.

Lucy and brother Henry have put together a display of books from the early 20th Century demonstrating the work of French book illustrator Edmund Dulac.

Two of his books were the Sleeping Beauty and The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (all corr), together worth around £1,800, which form the heart of the Wychwood display.
