What is Rumpelstiltskin about?
A boastful miller tells the king that his daughter can spin straw into gold. Furious, the king locks her in a room filled with straw and demands that she prove it by morning. Just when all seems hopeless, a mysterious little man appears and spins the straw into shining gold—but he wants something precious in return. When the king makes an even greater demand, the miller’s daughter must uncover the stranger’s secret name before it is too late.
