What is Really, Rapunzel Needed a Haircut! The Story of Rapunzel, As Told by Dame Gothel about?

Dame Gothel insists that Rapunzel’s story has been told all wrong. Was she really a cruel witch who locked a girl in a tower, or did she have another reason for keeping Rapunzel safe? With a very long-haired heroine, a very tall tower and one badly needed haircut, this playful retelling gives a familiar fairy tale a surprising twist. Young readers can enjoy seeing the events from Dame Gothel’s point of view and decide whose version they believe.
