Abstract: The article reviews the book "Rapunzel and Other Magic Fairy Tales," selected by Henriette Sauvant.

Review : A childless couple who wanted a child lived next to a walled garden which belonged to an enchantress. The wife, as a result of her long-awaited pregnancy, noticed some rapunzel plant (or, in some versions of the story, radishes or lamb's lettuce), planted in the garden and longed for it to the point of death.
