Annabethandco Maybe one of them is her own story. After all, Belle read her own story lots of times.

MacytheStrange Hmm, very unique article idea! Those shapes are almost definitely books, but for all we know they could be Flora's cookbooks or something. And I don't really think it changes much if she does like reading, it wouldn't affect her or the story.

Swanpride Well, I always thought that the fairies gave her a proper education to prepare her for her later duties (not that all nobles or even kings were literate back then).

MacytheStrange ^ Yeah, that makes sense. Even if she couldn't read, I'm sure she was educated.

Jayden-G They are probably here and I never noticed the books. Maybe one of them is the cookbook Fauna was reading, but I highly doubt it.

MacytheStrange ^ Oh yeah, that was Fauna, wasn't it?

Silverrose1991 ^Actually, I think its Merryweather who really cooks there. So, interesting. They're probably fairytales, but maybe one of them is the Bible.

Alantlm [b]Answering who cooks:[/b] Merryweather: But, I never baked a fancy cake. and Merryweather: But [Flora] can't sow, and [Fauna]'s never cooked! -->It seems Merryweather is the one who cooks. [b]@MacytheStrange:[/b] Although this is all speculative, I don’t see why Aurora (or even the fairies) would keep books that are useful and don’t [i]belong[/i] to her there: --I don’t think anything shows she would like/love cooking, unlike maybe Snow or Tiana --Fauna just takes the cookbook from its place in the kitchen/main room. So I think all the cooking related books would be where they are most needed. (I guess the dress book might be in the chest of the fabrics? Btw, I think it’s completely plausible to have just a clothes-making book because most people [i]even up to the Victorian age[/i] made and mended their own clothes) --They are at her bedside (which might indicate importance to her) and she only has two, so I’m sure she would notice its absence. --When Aurora approaches them, they hide the dress book (well, Fauna does). If the fairies wouldn’t want her to know anything, they wouldn’t have taken something she would most likely notice. [b]@Swanpride[/b] That’s what I’m thinking too :) Little girl Aurora was educated in the same ways as a princess. It would explain a lot of her already regal nature, and would make the transition a bit easier. I have to believe one is the Bible or [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_hours]Prayer book[/url]... but the other one? My jovial side wants to say Aesop's fables :P
