I found myself looking at tiny details with the book up close to my face, just absorbed by the world Gibbs created in this book. They include small details that are very engaging. They create a world that readers are happy to enter and to linger in. That alone is rather brilliantly done.īut then add in the remarkable illustrations that are delicate, romantic and simply lovely. There are no parts of the story that will be missed, somehow she edited and simplified without any loss of plot points. She takes the classic story and simplifies it without losing any of the romance or drama of the original. Well, Gibb’s new Rapunzel is special indeed. There are so many versions out there, that it takes something special to get my attention. I must admit that I usually mentally shrug when new versions of classic fairy tales are released.
