Rumpelstiltskin (Well-Loved Tales) Hardcover – Picture Book, May 1, 2016

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.

The book arrived today & I’m so so pleased with it..... just how I remember it! I am buying these books to share with my 4yr old nephew, to show him the books I liked as a child. The condition of the book is gorgeous & I’m so excited to share it with him tomorrow. Thank you so much for making memories 😊

Great book I loved this as a child going to read it to my grandson hope he loves it the same

Beautiful images. Short and clear text of a classic story. My 6 and 9 years old both liked it very much!

Brought for my husband Christmas present from my daughter as this was his favourite childhood book. Perfect exactly as he remembered it

One of my best loved tales from childhood so delighted to get this as an aid in my studying of children's bok illustration - these artists from the 60's and 70's were tops!
