Rumpelstiltskin (Well-Loved Tales) Review: Great condition - Awesome condition… but a bit of a weird story. Review: Rumplestiltskin - I read this when we were small, the little hardback was enjoyable and well illustrated. This one was seen as a tale for girls, who were given stories about princesses and sleeping beauties. In general boys were clearly expected to go out and have adventures. Girls were not, or they met savage beasts in the forest. This one shows a woman locked indoors doing women's work of spinning. I think it's important to tell the old fairytales to children as otherwise they won't know the stories in today's jumble of other entertainments and games. This is an unbiased review. I have not read the new edition.
