This is the second of B.D. Knight's true fairy tales. The first was The True Story of Snow White.
The original story of Rapunzel in Grimm's Fairy Tales was not a very long story and it left a lot of unanswered questions.
Knight had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek as he spins the heck out of this tale.
As you read make a note in the back of your mind because little things you may miss add to the story. Hint: Note the name of Rapunzel's father and see if you tie that in to another fairy tale later in the story.
Questions also arise and some are answered and some might keep you wondering.
How did Rapunzel get in the tower in the first place?
What happens to Prince Charming?
Who actually rescues Rapunzel?
After Rapunzel is rescued what happens to the witch who kidnapped her and pretended to be her mother?
Why did Rapunzel come to terms with being stuck in the tower?
What did the lights in the sky on her birthday mean?
Inquiring readers want to know.
Be prepared to roll your eyes as you enjoy this story. It's a short but entertain fairy tale. You finally get to learn the true story of Rapunzel.
Wait a minute. Isn't Rapunzel a fairy tale? :-)
