Classic Fairy Tales: Rapunzel (Hardcover)

A retelling of a folktale in which a beautiful girl with long golden hair is kept imprisoned in a lonely tower by a sorceress. A man is caught in a witch's garden stealing juicy greens that his pregnant wife craves. As a method of payment, the witch claims their child when she is born. Named Rapunzel after the vegetation that was stolen, the little girl is placed in a high tower with a single window--her only visitor is the witch who returns daily by climbing the spire using Rapunzel's golden tresses. The many years of seclusion are destined to end, however, when a prince discovers the lonely tower. Children will delight at this richly illustrated story of a love that conquers all adversity.
