Rapunzel lives all alone in a tall, dark tower. Under the threat of a witch's fearsome curse, the poor girl seems doomed to a life in captivity. But is Rapunzel frightened? Oh no, not she!
Rapunzel soon realizes that her long hair can be the key to her escape — no prince required. After climbing to freedom, she wins the help of the woodland creatures, draws advice from a book called How to Defeat Witches, and uses her courage and ingenuity to defeat the witch once and for all. Once that's done, she realizes she's probably not the only one being threatened by witches. Time to put on a mask and set out as a witch-defeating hero!
With irreverent humor and striking illustrations, the creator of Little Red puts an empowering and delightfully dark twist on a classic story of a helpless damsel.
"It’s about time that Rapunzel saved herself, and in Woollvin’s sly follow-up to 2016’s Little Red, she does exactly that.... Thanks to Woollvin, readers may grow up thinking this just-wicked-enough retelling is the classic one; if they ever stumble across versions with the prince, they may wonder why he was thought necessary."
