Editorial Reviews

Poor Rapunzel. She's having the ultimate bad hair day. Not only has an evil witch kidnapped her; she doesn't even have a decent brush for her incredibly long tresses. But, fortunately for her, she's not alone in her misery: Prince Benjamin is being pestered by his royal parents to marry a bride of their choice. Mercifully, a double rescue will solve both their problems. A fresh take on an age-old fairy tale.
