The Golden Braid by Melanie Dickerson is an awesome retelling of Rapunzel. Melanie has an incredible talent for re-working the original fairy tales we have known since childhood into plausible tales set during Medieval times. Her characters while still portraying good versus evil are well thought out and quite realistic. These stories are complex enough for young adults and adults who are still young at heart. Melanie also weaves in Christian values such as love and forgiveness. The story is engaging and draws one into it.
I was given The Golden Braid by the author in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts are truly my own.
