More Description

Gram’s Fairy Tales presents a series of illustrated chapter books that retain the heart and characters, but not the violence, of the original Grimm tales. The stories are lyrical with touching and funny twists that make them as interesting for the adult reader as they are for children. This “new, kinder, gentler retelling” of Rumpelstiltskin, is a story of a little man with a big heart. The offspring of a prince of the gnomes and a human princess, Rumpelstiltskin has his mother’s good looks but his father’s height. Believing that a person is only as tall as the good deeds he does, Rumpelstiltskin is kind and caring and helpful to all he encounters… including the miller’s daughter, Clarissa. In the end, goodness wins the day and the bride.In addition to focusing on traditional family values, the books help young readers by providing a pictorial glossary at the back of each book.
