Think there's just one fairy tale with a girl locked away in a tall tower? Think again! Cultures all around the world have their own Rapunzel stories. Visit Germany, Italy, and the Philippines, and find out who is guarded by a flesh eating monster, and whose hero flies off on a magical winged horse.
"I really liked reading these stories. It was fun to find the ways that the stories were alike and different. I would like to read more stories from other countries like these. I think all kids would enjoy reading or listening to these stories." - San Francisco Book Reveiw

"STARRED REVIEW! A falcon swoops down and steals a ruby slipper from the banks of the Nile; a beautiful young girl lies in a coffin hanging from a tree. Sound familiar? Probably not, and, that’s the fun of these volumes, each presenting multicultural variations of stories we all know. . . .Illustrations capture beautifully the particular cultural ambience of each tale. . . .My second grade team has already deemed these books an indispensable addition for a curriculum that asks students to study folktale variations. Highly Recommended." - School Library Connection
