"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!"

Trapped at the top of a tall tower, every day Rapunzel throws down her long, long golden hair for her captor, the enchantress, to climb. Until one day the King's son discovers Rapunzel and they fall in love.

The prince and Rapunzel devise a plan to escape -- but the enchantress discovers their scheme and chops off Rapunzel's hair. Will the couple be parted forever?

This classic fairy tale is wonderfully brought to life with soft, colorful illustrations by popular illustrator Maja Dusíková.

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, were German professors whose collections of folk tales and fairy tales have been loved for generations. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, best known for his fairy tales which include The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen and The Emperor's New Clothes. Scott Plumbe was born on the west coast of Canada. He is an award-winning illustrator, designer and fine artist whose work appears in books, games and magazines including National Geographic Kids. He lives in Vancouver with his young family.

Maja Dus�kov� was born in Slovakia in 1946. She has illustrated over forty books for children. She lives with her family in Florence, Italy.

On Dusíková's edition of The Princess and the Pea:

'Dusikova's pictures are full of soft edges and soft colours, with pretty architectual details and an assortment of castle denizens, including a pair of cats and a toddler in a jester's motley. A rendering to bring a smile or possibly a giggle.'
– Kirkus Reviews

'Maja Dusikova's Rapunzel retells a classic fairy tale and adds lovely, soft-edged drawings... Good reading skills or parental assistance will lend to the beautiful story of a braided beauty with a beautiful voice and a brave prince who breaks her isolation.'
