Rapunzel is a German fairy tale in the collection assembled by the Brothers Grimm, and it was first published in 1812 as part of Children's and Household Tales. This story by the Grimm Brothers' is an adaptation of the fairy tale Rapunzel by J. Achim Christoph and Friedrich Schulz published in his collection Kleine Romane (German: Little Romances (1790). The Schulz version of the same is based on Persinette by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force originally published in 1698. It was influenced by an even earlier Italian tale, Petrosinella by Giambattista Basile, published in 1634. Its plot has been used and parodied in various media and it has a best known line as well ("Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair") whereas it is an idiom of popular culture. In volume I of the 1812 annotations referred to as Anhang, it has been listed as coming from Friedrich Schulz's Kleine Romane, Book 5, pp. 269–288, published in Leipzig 1790. Other versions of the tale also visualised in A Book of Witches by Ruth Manning-Sanders and in Paul O. Rapunzel's story has eye catching similarities to the Persian tale of Rudaba, included in the epic poem Shahnameh by Ferdowsi. Rudaba offers to let down her hair from her tower so that her lover Zal can climb up to be with her.
