Dave: IMG Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text

"Once upon a Time"

Is Timeless

Before Rapunzel's birth, her mother made a dangerous deal with the sorceress Melisande: If she could not love newborn Rapunzel just as she appeared, she would surrender the child to Melisande. When Rapunzel was born completely bald and without hope of ever growing hair, her horrified mother sent her away with the sorceress to an uncertain future.

After sixteen years of raising Rapunzel as her own child, Melisande reveals that she has another daughter, Rue, who was cursed by a wizard years ago and needs Rapunzel's help. Rue and Rapunzel have precisely "two nights and the day that falls between" to break the enchantment. But bitterness and envy come between the girls, and if they fail to work together, Rue will remain cursed...forever.

Synopsis:

The tale of "Rapunzel" is turned on its head. In this version, Rapunzel is born bald, and will never be able to grow hair. As a result, her vain mother gives the child away to a sorceress, who raises Rapunzel as her own. After 16 years, the sorceress reveals a secret. Original.

Another wonderful book in the Once Upon A Time series. It is truly a whole new tale about Rapunzel. But it is a good book, especially if you like fairy tales. Even if you don't like fairy tales this is still a book worth reading.
