Miller Großwort likes to talk big: he claims his cows have three tails, his apples are as big as pumpkins, and his chickens lay ostrich eggs. Even though no one believes him, his boasts are a constant topic of conversation—even at the royal court. All the more so when word gets out that the miller’s beautiful daughter can spin straw into gold. This piques the king’s interest, as his treasuries are empty. He puts the girl to the test—with success. Locked away in a tower dungeon, she makes the impossible come true. What no one knows: she didn’t do it without help. But who helped her? Was his name Alfred? Zettel? Hammelswade? Rippenbiest? Schnürbein? Hinz? Kunz? Nimmersatt? Höllenriss? Fliegenpilz?... “Oh, how good it is that no one knows...”
The story of Rumpelstiltskin is enchanting and timelessly beautiful.

A musical fairy tale for the whole family based on the Brothers Grimm
Adapted by Hans-Dieter Maienschein using classical compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Recommended for ages 5 and up.
