Book Reviews of Petrosinella: A Neopolitan Rapunzel (Picture Puffins)
Book Review: An Active Rapunzel
Summary: 5 Stars
Petrosinella came before Rapunzel and is a spunkier character. Like Rapunzel, she is held captive by the witch after being taken from her mother. Petrosinella, however, uses her wits to escape her captor and live happily ever after. This story originally appeared in Giambattista Basile's Il Pentamerone almost 400 years ago. The illustrations are beautiful and reflect both today's tastes as well as the age of the story. I recommend this book for anyone looking for an old twist on a tale that is more exciting than the one we are most familiar with. END
Summary of Petrosinella: A Neopolitan Rapunzel (Picture Puffins)
This retelling of a classic Italian folktale, which predates the more familiar "Rapunzel", is "an elegant alternative to the Brothers Grimm" ("Kirkus Reviews"). Full-color illustrations.Anthologies Books
