I read a huge amount of children's literature with my daughter so that is mostly what you'll see from me here. Finding high quality books to share and enjoy with her has become my obsession. But, I also love classic literature, travel, historical fiction, poetry and art. Mostly, I just love books and words. Deeply.
This is a very delightful Cornish variant of the Rumpelstiltskin tale. I love the illustrations (which won the Caldecott in 1974). I also love the sly humor throughout and the quirky regional flavor of both the story and the language. Lots of fun!
