Hey y'all! This week we talk about the inspiration for Disney's Tangled; the story of Rapunzel from the Brothers Grimm. Stories about maidens in towers are ancient but we start to see the version most people are familiar with pop up in Italy in the 1600's. We hope you enjoy learning about this as much as we did!
