About The Sleeping Girl of Turville
- Ellen Sadler (15 May 1859 – after 1901), sometimes called The Sleeping Girl of Turville, was a resident of Turville, a small village in Buckinghamshire in the United Kingdom.
- In 1871, aged eleven, she purportedly fell asleep and did not wake for nine years.
- The case attracted international attention from newspapers, medical professionals and the public. Born to a large, impoverished family of farm workers, Ellen was sent to work as a nursemaid at the age of eleven.
- Soon afterwards, she began suffering periods of drowsiness and was referred to a local hospital.
- After four months her condition was declared incurable, and she was sent home.
- Two days later, Ellen had a series of seizures and—her mother claimed—fell into a deep sleep from which she could not be roused. Ellen became a tourist attraction for the village, and her family made considerable money from visitors' donations.
- As the years progressed with no sign of Ellen's waking, speculation grew that her illness was either a hoax or caused by her mother, an issue that was never resolved.
- In late 1880, soon after her mother's death, Ellen awoke.
- She later married and had at least five children.
