About this audiobook
“Rumpelstiltskin” is a fairytale popularly associated with Germany (where he is known as 'Rumpelstilzchen'). The tale was one collected by the Brothers Grimm in the 1812 edition of Children's and Household Tales.
In order to appear superior, a miller lies to the king, telling him that his daughter can spin straw into gold (some versions make the miller's daughter blonde and describe the “straw-into-gold” claim as a careless boast the miller makes about the way his daughter's straw-like blond hair takes on a gold-like lustre when sunshine strikes it). The king calls for the girl, shuts her in a tower room filled with straw and a spinning wheel, and demands she spin the straw into gold by morning or he will cut off her head (other versions have the king threatening to lock her up in a dungeon forever)...
