Rumpelstiltskin by Paul O. Zelinsky
From the Brothers Grimm
In this beautifully illustrated retelling of a classic fairy tale, a miller's daughter finds herself in a dire predicament when her father boasts to the king that she can spin straw into gold. Faced with an impossible task, she is visited by a mysterious little man who offers to help her in exchange for her firstborn child. As the story unfolds, the young woman must rely on her wit and determination to outsmart the cunning figure and secure her family's future, all while exploring themes of greed, desperation, and the power of a promise.
