Description
Experience the Grimm Brothers' moral tale of promises made and promises broken. Rumpelstiltskin, a feisty and egocentric forest creature, tries unsuccessfully to become the almighty King of the forest. Meanwhile, a poor miller tries to impress the royal family by boasting untruthfully that his beautiful daughter can spin straw into gold. The girl is locked in a room with a spinning wheel and some straw to accomplish this task. Rumpelstiltskin, having eavesdropped on the situation, appears and entices the young maiden to promise him her first born child (which he thinks will be his key to becoming an all-powerful ruler) in exchange for his assistance. Later, he returns to claim the baby in fullfillment of their bargain, but is undone by his own ego. Best for ages 5 and up.More Info
