About this product

Product Information

Surely among the most original and gifted of children's book illustrators, Paul O. Zelinsky has once again with unmatched emotional authority, control of space, and narrativecapability brought forth a unique vision for an age-old tale. Few artists at work today can touch the level at which his paintings tell a story and exert their hold. Zelinsky's retelling of Rapunzel reaches back beyond the Grimms to a late-seventeenth-century French tale by Mlle. la Force, who based hers on the Neapolitan tale Petrosinella in a collection popular at the time. The artist understands the story's fundamentals to be about possessiveness, confinement, and separation, rather than about punishment and deprivation. Thus the tower the sorceress gives Rapunzel here is not a desolate, barren structure of denial but one of esoteric beauty on the outside and physical luxury within. And the world the artist creates through the elements in his paintings the palette, control of light, landscape, characters, architecture,interiors, costumes speaks to us not of an ugly witch who cruelly imprisons a beautiful young girl, but of a mother figure who powerfully resists her child's inevitable growth, and of a young woman and man who must struggle in the wilderness for the self-reliance that is the true beginningof their adulthood. As ever, and yet always somehow in newly arresting fashion, Paul O. Zelinsky's work thrillingly shows us the events of the story while guiding us beyond them to the truths that have made it endure.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Well written and beautifully illustrated

    This is a well written and beautifully illustrated version of the classic story. The author even gives a little history on the different versions from different languages and across time. My kids love it. I am very happy with the purchase.

  • My daughter loves this book

    My daughter took this book out of the school library and then asked me to buy it for her so she could keep it. The language is a little bit too flowery for young children and it's a little dramatic for my taste. For example, if the wife doesn't get the rapunzel herb to eat, she becomes "wretched" and she'll "die" from her cravings. And I didn't like that Baby Rapunzel was taken away from her parents and the parents were never mentioned again. But my daughter absolutely loves the book and today, I went to her school and read it to her whole class and they all loved it as well. Even her teacher thinks it's a nice book, so perhaps I'm a little too over-sensitive. All the old Grimm and Disney fairy tales have a little too much drama and death and they're all still around.

  • Rapunzel

    I bought this book for myself for Christmas. Rapunzel has always been my favorite fairy tale, but I have never owned the book. When I saw the preview of the book, and the gorgeous artwork within, I had to have it. The story is always exciting, and I never grow tired of hearing it. But the artwork in this edition sets it apart from all the others; it is marvelous. I don't want to say that I love it, but I have deep feelings for it, and I hope to enjoy it again and again. Eventually, I expect to give it to my granddaughter, who is now 22-months old. She does love books, and I am sure she will appreciate this one. I am very happy that I discovered it on eBay, and that it was available for me to purchase. I may never have had the opportunity again.

  • Love it. The artwork is simply tantalizing!

    ^yup. Great Read.
