An Active Rapunzel
5 May 2000
By Heidi Anne Heiner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Petrosinella came before Rapunzel and is a spunkier character. Like Rapunzel, she is held captive by the witch after being taken from her mother. Petrosinella, however, uses her wits to escape her captor and live happily ever after. This story originally appeared in Giambattista Basile's Il Pentamerone almost 400 years ago. The illustrations are beautiful and reflect both today's tastes as well as the age of the story. I recommend this book for anyone looking for an old twist on a tale that is more exciting than the one we are most familiar with. END

An Early Rapunzel
27 April 2004
By Charles
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This story shows the truth behind the fairy tale, "Rapunzel", before it was changed by the Grimms to reflect their patriarchal ideologies. Rapunzel is a strong, active character not just a woman who needs to be rescued. I think this book is a great way to look back in time nd see how fairy tales have changed and how the message they are sending to young people has been altered.

the original rapunzel
21 Sep 2012
By krimzonlilly
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The reason I'm writing this is because a lot of the reviews commented on how this is a unique twist on the Rapunzel story. HOWEVER...this is actually the ORIGINAL Rapunzel story, written 200 years prior to the one most are familiar with by the brothers Grimm. Petrosinella is a very strong female character who saves herself rather than relying on a prince.
