Not only that, the text explain why this jealous witch would force her daughter to live in a tower and what would be inside it so that she wouldn’t die out of bore, which the original story never gave. Unlike the original version where the father steals Rapunzel leaves because his greedy wife makes herself sick and pretends she won’t heal if she doesn’t taste that salad, Sage and Gibb show the man doing that act because his wife is ill because of her pregnancy and says that only some of that garden’s vegetables can cure her. Of the original story, they gave more depth and humanity to the heroine’s parents. Released in a paperback version under the inter-title “Best-loved classic”, the illustrator Sarah Gibb and the author Alison Sage, who for unexplained reasons hasn’t her name on the cover and whose text is copyrighted to the ownership of HarperCollinsUK instead, marvel us with their version. But in this book’s case, I think this adaptation will be a wonderful classic for children, parents and art students to cherish. Some to memorable results, others published under circumstances that might make a second edition more difficult to obtain as rights can expire or publishers go bankrupt. Since the Grimm Brothers released their original version of the Rapunzel myth, artists and authors have adapted the tale to their interpretations, art styles, and liberties. Wonderful adaptation of a fairy tale classic
