| Abstract | This illustrated picture book presents a retelling of the traditional fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin. The story follows a clever girl whose father falsely claims she can spin straw into gold, leading the king to demand she prove the claim. Faced with an impossible task, the girl makes a bargain with a mysterious stranger, setting the stage for a reversal of expectations when the agreement comes due. Written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Carson Ellis, the book reinterprets the classic tale with a contemporary narrative approach and distinctive visual style. It is part of a collection of retold fairy tales intended to introduce traditional stories to a new generation of readers. |
