Hardcover
(Clavis Publishing, Oct. 31, 2010)
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.
