Rumpelstiltskin's Child is a wonderfully imagined take on a redemption story, featuring a long held Grimm villain as a protagonist. It plays upon the question: what if dear old Rumpel wasn't such a bad guy to start off with? Given that, we see how nature vs. nurture plays a part, and how acknowledgment of a wrong can change even the most hardened of hearts. Evoking a sense of the medieval through both typography and illustrations, Rumpelstiltskin's Child will enthrall readers both new and old alike.
