Rapunzel (Reconto)

Once upon a time there was a princess with very long, golden hair who was kept imprisoned by a witch in a very high tower. But, unlike the classic story, this Rapunzel studies a strategy to get the witch out of her way and finds a way to get out of the tower. How did she do this? From the same author of Little Red Riding Hood, voted the best Illustrated Book of 2016 by The New York Times, Rapunzel is presented in a bold and funny version, which completely removes the figure of the handsome prince, and brings an empowered princess full of attitude. With a touch of suspense and humor, Bethan Woollvin puts together a perfect sequence of illustrations that captures the reader, transforming the familiar tale into a humorous and unpredictable story. Emphasis ? The illustrations offer an exceptionally bold and visually stunning interpretation of the classic tale, which will appeal to both children who are in the process of acquiring reading skills and those who have already mastered the technique. ?
