Description

When an ambitious miller tells the king his daughter can spin straw to gold, the girl is imprisoned and ordered to spin gold. If she succeeds, the king will marry her. If not, he will kill her. A strange little man appears and says he will help her -- if she promises him something in return.

So begins the classic story of Rumpelstiltskin. This sometimes dark, sometimes humorous tale has been beloved in many cultures for centuries. This collection combines twenty-two original Rumpelstiltskin tales of all shapes, sizes, and styles.

This edition from the Fairy Tale Classics Collection includes versions of Rumpelstiltskin from Germany, England, Austria, Hungary, Sweden, Scottland, the Orkney Islands, Wales, Ireland, and Eastern Europe. It also includes beautiful illustrations by Anne Anderson, Ernest Rhys, Charles Folkard, and George R. Halkett.
