Summary:
A miller lies to the king and says that his daughter can spin straw into gold. The king believes him, takes his daughter and locks her in a room with straw and tells her that if it’s not gold by the morning she will be killed. She becomes distraught until a funny, little man appears and
When they had their first son, the little man reappeared and demanded the baby. The queen refused and a new bargain was struck. If she could guess his name within 3 days, she could keep her baby. The queen guess the little man’s name, he became upset and left without the baby.
Personal Reaction:
I grew up on Grimm’s fairytales and they have always been my favorite stories. The illustrations in this version are incredibly detailed and beautiful. I also like one of the morals of the story is that you shouldn’t lie about something that you can’t come through on.
Classroom Extension:
1) Have the students discuss any lies they may have told and why they back fired.
2) Have the students draw their version of Rumpelstilkskin.

This is a new book, but it's really well done. There is so much helpful information about illustrators. It has been a great asset for me in collecting vintage children's books.
