Once upon a time there was a dwarf who tried to take things that just weren’t his. Now this dwarf lived in a land that was ruled by a king whose greed was as grand as his kingdom. And in that kingdom there lived a miller whose bragging mouth was nearly as grand as the king’s greed. And it so happened that this miller had a lovely daughter who was kind and good, but one day she did a very bad thing: she made a promise she could not keep. Now the king is angry, the miller is frightened, and the dwarf is simply out of control.
Wheels spin and straw flies as the miller’s daughter works madly to make things right again, but the only way she can is by discovering the mean old dwarf’s secret true name. In searching for that, she discovers the only power in the world that will help her. The most magical power of all: love.
Rumpelstiltskin is adapted from the Brothers Grimm by Keith Smith.
