Rapunzel

"Rapunzel" is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and first published in 1812 as tale number 12. The Grimm Brothers' story is an adaptation of the fairy tale Rapunzel by Friedrich Schulz published in 1790. The Schulz version is based on Persinette by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force originally published in 1698, which in turn was influenced by an even earlier tale, Petrosinella by Giambattista Basile, published in 1634. In the Aarne–Thompson classification system for folktales it is type 310, "The Maiden in The Tower".
