Remember the rather bizarre Grimm's fairy tale, Rapunzel?
It was about a beautiful girl who was kept locked in a doorless tower, deep in the forest. Whenever her wicked female enchantress wanted to visit her, she would yell out, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel , let down your hair" and Rapunzel would lower her hair down from the top of the tower. The enchantress would climb up. ( I always thought how that must have hurt. I mean, wouldn't climbing up someone's long hair pull mercilessly on the scalp?)
Anyway, one day, the king's son was riding through the forest near the tower and saw the enchantress call out and then climb up Rapunzel's hair. Later that evening, the King's son also called out to Rapunzel and climbed up her hair to the top of the tower. (Boy, Rapunzel must have been surprised!)
In the story, she eventually escapes and ends up with the King's son, who, of course, must have been a prince.
One day, while perusing a flea market, I found a magnificent Rapunzel doll with absolutely gorgeous golden curls. She's got the prettiest face imaginable. She has brown eyes and wears a deep, forest green dress. She's one of the favorite dolls in my collection.
DO YOU HAVE ANY STORY BOOK CHARACTER DOLLS? DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY OF RAPUNZEL?
