Rumpelstiltskin

Hardcover (Reader's Digest Young Families March 15, 2003)
Classics for beginning reader's series. Story based on the original Rumplestilskin story written by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. It begins with a poor miller who had a beautiful daughter and boasted about her to anyone who would stop to listen. One day he told one of the King's cooks she could spin straw into gold. The cook in turn told the King. So the story begins. When the King demands that she turn his straw into gold, she is taken to a room in the castle. Since she could not really spin straw into gold, she sat crying and wondering what to do. Suddenly an odd little man with a grey beard appears telling her he can help but she has to guess his name. It turns out that was a difficult task but if you read the story it does have a good ending.
