My Name Is Rapunzel by K.C. Hilton6/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Zel and Mother live in an isolated alm with only each other and animals for company except for the two times a year they go to the market in town. Napoli begins her story during this point and shows the events leading up to Mother locking Zel away in the tower. While both the Grimm and the de la Force versions say that the witch/fairy raises Rapunzel/Persinette outside the tower until she is twelve, they do not give any details. She begins the story by establishing the relationship between Rapunzel, nicknamed Zel, and Mother. Napoli mainly draws on the German version of the tale by the Brothers Grimm, which itself heavily draws from the French “Persinette” written by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de la Force. Sorry! My Rating: 4 stars Warning: Contains spoilers As a Retelling: The kindle edition doesn’t have a cover photo for who knows what reason, and the lighting conditions weren’t ideal. Side note: Please excuse the rather horrendous picture. Ultimately I just bought the ebook because it seemed that the library copy was never going to come. Welcome back to Fairy Tale Friday! Today, by popular vote, we’re looking at the feature’s first retelling of “Rapunzel.” Sorry it’s so much later than I thought! As I said in my previous post, there was an issue with the library. ![]()
