Rapunzel is a children's book written and illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky and a retelling of the fairy tale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm.

In 1998, a film version of Rapunzel was made by Weston Woods Studios, and narrated by Maureen Anderman.

The wife likes to sit by a window at the back of her house, looking into a sorceress's high-walled garden and the flowers, fruits, and herbs growing in it.

Days pass and the wife grows so ill from her craving that she tells her husband that she wants to eat the sorceress's rapunzel.

When the husband explains his wife's condition, the sorceress allows him take the rapunzel in exchange for his baby.

The sorceress raises Rapunzel, who grows to be a beautiful girl with fair skin and long red-gold hair.

Whenever she hears those words, Rapunzel unpins her long braids, winds them to a hook on the window frame, and lets them fall to the ground, and the sorceress climbs up.

Charmed by Rapunzel's singing voice, the prince falls in love, but is unable to enter the tower.

When the sorceress leaves that evening, the prince calls up to Rapunzel, who lets down her hair and he climbs up.
