20: Rapunzel
Rapunzel is the simple story of a captive girl with magic hair so long and strong you can climb a three storey tower with it, a wicked stepmother, a guy who gets blinded... That’s the Brothers Grimm for you. No wonder the Disney version goes really light and jokey.
The Maiden In The Tower
So who is putting these princesses in towers anyway? And what for? They can’t all be bait for unwary princes, can they? Maybe they can - somebody keeps setting up weird tests like this for Arthur’s knights. But if the towers don’t magically disappear afterwards, does anybody ever move in? Anyone who isn’t another captive princess?
