The Princess with the Longest Hair
Komilla Raote
illustrated by Vandana Bist 1998
Somehow I found this book from Kahani Tree, a children's bookstore in Mumbai. It's not another Rapunzel story, but rather a tale of the princess Parineeta who is not ready to be married or admired from the confines of the palace. Instead she selflessly gives of her beautiful hair, to not only help others, but turn the bare mountainside near the palace into a lush country.
