Did Charles Perrault write Rapunzel

Answer 1

No, although transcribing many now-classic folk-tales (and transforming them to fit the aristocracy), Rapunzel was not one of Perrault's tales. The believed original transcription dates back to Lo Cunti de li Cunto (The Story of Stories), in 1634 by Italian author Giambattista Balie. Creating the foundation for later, better-known versions, such as the Brother's Grimm, this version called Parsley, was believed to have been collected from the oral tales of Crete and Venice.

Answer 2

In 1672 he got married to Marie Guichon, 19, who died in 1678 after giving birth to a daughter and three sons.
