Rumplestiltskin Audiobook

" Is it weird that I felt a little sorry for Rumpel-stiltskin, the poor man got short-changed. I'm not saying he should have taken the child. I just think the father in the beginning is to blame. He should have been punished for telling the King a false hood and nearly getting his daughter killed. "

" An extra star because the art was so lovely, but this retelling of the story lacked any sort of zip, comedy, drama ... anything. Very plain retelling.
