Enjoyable twisted fairy tale submitted by jcottey on August 7, 2017, 8:11pm Tells the "true" story of Rumplestiltskin in a chapter book. While sometimes the writing comes off as a bit inexperienced, the story reads quickly and is a lot of fun. Of course, Rump didn't want the Queen's baby, but it was beyond his control. For those who are sensitive to such things, there is talk of "pee" and "poop" and some other potty humor at a few points.
