Rapunzel is the classic children's fairy tale about a beautiful young lady with long, flowing hair that lives in a mysterious tower. The tale begins with Rapunzel's parents, who lived next door to an old woman who grew a delicious vegetable called rampion. The wife, at home pregnant, notices the rampion growing next door and desperately wants some of it to eat. In order to please his wife, the husband steals the rampion but is eventually caught by the old woman. Begging for mercy, the husband agrees to give his child to the old woman upon its birth. As the years pass, Rapunzel (named after the rampion plant), wonders about her neighbors. This leads the old woman to lock Rapunzel away in a tower in the forest, until the day when a dashing prince comes to her rescue.
Rapunzel is the classic children's fairy tale that we all grew up with. Many renditions and spin off versions have been created over the years, but nothing beats the classic story of Rapunzel in this beautifully created children's eBook.
