Written by Jonathan Pageau with a beautiful layout by Hugh Rose, The Symbolism of Rapunzel is the perfect grown up supplement to the Rapunzel fairy tale. It comprises an essay on the symbolism of the story, exploring its often surprising, hidden meaning. Rapunzel is revealed to be a story of sacrifice and redemption, the bad mother, ideal femininity and how the way in which something externalizes itself—makes itself known—can be seen in two ways: as a glory and as a death. It has single color pages with a stitched binding and foil cover, 48 pages with 3 original illustrations by Jonathan Pageau as well as several illustrated borders and chapter heads by Hugh Rose. Format: Smith Sewn, 48 pages | Ages: 16+ ISBN: 978-1-968325-03-9
