The outrageous adventures of this quintessential American hero represent the very best in the proud tradition of American storytelling.

Gem of a Find, or Maybe a Golden Thread of Joy
I stumbled across this book as I was looking for something interesting. Rumplestiltskin is one of my all-time favorite stories, so I listened to a preview. I had no idea that Kathleen Turner did narration, so it was a surprise.
Performance of this story is PERFECT! I have listened to this story almost every day since. My beau and I even tease each other with some of the names she guesses in the story.
This is an all-ages performance and story, so we adults can get a lot of joy from listening.
