Rumpelstiltskin is a classic fairy tale with this version by Galdone being the standard to which others are compared. Rumpelstiltskin is the odd little man who appears in the straw room to help the unnamed miller’s daughter spin straw into gold.  The third time he helps her she agrees to give him her first child.  A year later he comes to collect his due.  He takes pity on her sorrow at giving up her child and allows her three days to guess his name.  If she cannot, he gets the child.   She sends a servant to follow him and he comes back with his name and she lived happily ever after.  Many versions have been written since this one was published in 1985.  However, this reissue has the same illustrations which are a little rough around the edges in comparison.  It is still a book that every school library should have in its collection.
