European variants of “Rapunzel” other than the German Brothers Grimm version include Giambattista Basile’s “Petrosinella” (from Italian tradition), in which the heroine is kidnapped by an ogress, and Charlotte-Rose Caumont de La Force’s “Persinette” (from French tradition), in which a fairy initially torments the heroine after finding out about her and the prince but ultimately helps Rapunzel and her family.
