Description

Rapunzel sits on the 16th floor of an inner city block, bored, dreaming, and looking out at the rain. No one can rouse her from her apathy, not the milkman or the postman or the baker or her aunt — or even the prince. But when at last a letter is delivered, it contains news that has Rapunzel on her feet again. She has a new job at the library! And suddenly her life is busy, sparkling, exciting and stimulating. “For despite her long hair and her ravishing looks, she loved nothing better than reading good books!”
