'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair' by Amanda Danicic

Love and Friendship
German fairy tale

One of my favourite stories, and one that my children have grown to love. During pregnancy, a mother craved Rapunzel weed, a plant that belonged to an old witch. The father tried to get some and, in his terror, consented to give the witch his baby if only his wife could eat the Rapunzel weed.
