Rumpelstiltskin

By Paul O. Zelinsky

When the proud father tells the king that his daughter can spin straw into gold, it is the tiny Rumpelstiltskin who actually does the spinning—for the price of the firstborn child. Golden-toned, full-color oil paintings in medieval style retell this tale based on an early Brothers Grimm version.
