The Girl Who Spun Gold

Bibliographic Information: Hamilton, V. (2000). The girl who spun gold. New York, New York: The Blue Sky Press.

Annotation: A version of Rumplestiltskin told with a West Indies flare.

Genre: Folktale

Grade Level: I

Readers Who Will Like This Book: Those who enjoy stories like Rumplestiltskin, of African American decent, or getting the best of someone who tricked you unfairly.

Personal Response and Rating: I rate this a 4. This was my favorite of the three folktales. The artwork was beautiful, but I found it refreshing for the main character to fight back a little. Usually, the female passively takes what has been forced upon here, in this she expresses her displeasure directly to the one who forces her to spin golden thread.
