Book description
When Rapunzel is banished to a tall tower in the middle of the
woods, escape seems impossible. Can she use her long locks to escape
from her evil stepmother and find her prince?
This story is a magic bean. It may not look much like a bean, but I
can promise you that it is. For if you plant it in a young mind, it
will grow into a love of story and reading. These beans are favourite
fairytales and legends that will delight, thrill and thoroughly
entertain. Each story has been brilliantly crafted by one of the
best-loved writers for children.
This story was published by David Fickling Books as part of the
Magic Beans anthology. The complete anthology is available in hardback
and in ebook format.
