Early/Original 'Rapunzel' folktales

Hello Alll,

Here are a couple of early 'Rapunzel' folktales. Basile's version of the tale is rather bawdy considering it was in a collection directed toward children. 'The Maiden in the Tower' has several notions seen in Tangled.

Both tales are a short read. :D

Basiles' version (pg. 147-51):
