Rumpelstiltskin Paperback – Picture Book, September 1, 1996

The art is beautiful and the story is as I remember.

One of my favorite fairy tales. Read it with lots of innosence in your voice for the poor Miller's daughter. And read her father as the "fool" he is, wanting to impress the king with his bragging. The role of the king is not developed here, except to say he is a very greedy man. The little man who saves the life of the future queen and is then foiled in his scheme to take her babe is drawn in a most delightful manner. He's more laughable than sinister. In the version I heard as a child he stomped his feet so hard and spun around so much in his anger that he augered himself in the ground. In this version he rides out of the window on a wooden kitchen spoon which was both humorous and pathetic. Zelinsky's art is wonderful and plentiful. Kids will love this picture book. Mine did.

I have been searching everywhere for this book.. I found other ones but this is the one my mom and dad use to read to myself and my siblings when we were little.. I wanted the exact same ones so I can read it to my kids.. my son absolutely loved how big it is and how each page has a picture!

This was my favorite Rumpelstiltskin book as a child, and I wanted to get it for my son. Couldn't wait for it to come in the mail, & it was exactly as I remembered. 💙We love it!

I enjoyed reading the real story. It made all the movies I’ve ever seen make sense! Now I understand why it’s considered to be scary for children!

It was great love originals I also love the brothers of grim need to read more of their books habitable

I bought this book to give to an elderly gentleman in his 90's, who had been asking how the story of Rumplestiltskin went--because he had forgotten. The smile that came across his face when I showed him what I had for him, just thrilled my heart. For days he was thanking me--over and over again--for his book. He said he will pass this book on to his son, who has one of his own beloved storybooks from his early childhood. The artwork in this book is absolutely stunning--it almost made me want to buy it for myself! It took me right back to my own childhood, and to my favorite--the beautiful and romantic Mediaeval castle! I would say this book is definately a collector's item.

I originally bought the book for my grand girls to read to them but now our four year old reads it every day as part of her homework reading. She carefully sounds out the words and is thrilled every time. The story never fails to make us all gasp and ooh and awww and the girls always ask the same questions even though they know the answers. I'm saving it for my new grand child but I've a few years before she's ready to hear it. The book is large and the letters with pictures clear enough for anyone to figure out what is happening. I recommend it highly.

Lovely book!!

The older Ladybird books like this one have far, far better illustrations than the newer ones. This is an excellent book with which to entertain (and slightly spook!) your kids. Item was in very good condition and delivery was very fast indeed.

Old fairy tale, retold very nicely and accompanied by amazing oil paint drawings by Paul Zelinsky. A large size book makes the illustrations come out very gorgeous.

廉価なﾍﾟｰﾊﾟｰﾊﾞｯｸｽなので、印刷の品質が心配だったが、（原本にはとても及ばないのかもしれないが）美しい仕上がりで満足。
