Summary
The author presents six alternative versions of the familiar story of a boastful miller and the daughter he claims can spin straw into gold.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Have you ever wondered just what was going on when that odd little man with the long name stepped up and volunteered to spin straw into gold for the millerâs daughter? If you stop and think about it, there are some very peculiar and rather hard-to-explain components to the story.
Vivian Vande Velde has wondered too, and sheâs come up with these six alternative versions of the old legend. A bevy of millerâs daughters confront their perilous situation in very different ways â sometimes comic, sometimes scary. Most of the time, itâs the daughter who gets off safely, but sometimes, amazingly, Rumpelstiltskin himself wins the day. And in one tale, it is the king who cleverly escapes a quite unexpected fate.
