Under the disguise of a kind and well-meaning person, Rumpelstiltskin,
a cunning dwarf, helps the miller’s daughter to spin straw
into gold, thus saving her from the king’s punishment
and offering her the chance to become queen. But he soon reveals
his wicked nature, when he tries to take away the queen’s
child, by means of a strange game. Luckily, he is beaten at
his own game and is forced to leave humiliated and ashamed.
“This is a softer and more sympathetic retelling
of Grimm’s Rumpelstiltskin, in which the greedy king is
humanized by his love for the miller’s daughter and by
his repentance for his greed and Rumpelstiltskin appears less
scary and more funny than in other versions”.
