MAY 2015: Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin - A fun read for fairy tale lovers!

“My mother named me after a cow’s rear end.  It’s the favorite village joke, and probably the only one, but it’s not really true.  At least I don’t think it’s true, and neither does Gran.  Really, my mother had another name for me, a wonderful name, but no one ever heard it.  They only heard the first part.  The worst part.”  Rump pg.1 Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin
