I was required to read this context for a class that I am taking which studies Children's Literature. In comparison to the original Rapunzel written by the Brothers Grimm, this story took a great twist and incorporated a lot of culture into the story. I loved that the author was the same as the illustrators and she did a phenomenal job towards presenting her notions of Rapunzel. Great read!!
