Rapunzel is a children's book written and illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky and a retelling of the fairy tale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm. Released by Dutton Press, it was the recipient of the Caldecott Medal for illustration in 1998.[1]
The children's book is a faithful retelling of the 1812 original version of Rapunzel,[2] but also contains several elements from Persinette, the French variant of the fairy tale by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force.
In 1998, a film version of Rapunzel was made by Weston Woods Studios, and narrated by Maureen Anderman.
