I wrote this version of the book ?Rumpelstiltskin? and the Prince to show that there are two sides to every coin. In each version of the book ?Rumplestiltskin? ever written, he is portrayed as the greedy, evil imp who schemes a helpless woman to obtain possession of her first-born child. However, from the moment I first read ?Rumplestiltskin? in elementary school, I always thought of Rumplestiltskin as the hero in the Queen's world. ?Rumplestilskin and The Prince? reveals a side of the strange little man that allows us to celebrate this unique fairy-tale with a new perspective as Rumplestilskin and the Prince eventually unite on their own terms.
