Rumpelstiltskin, 606d, 1968

Rumpelstiltskin, 1968.  This is the 11th tale in the original Well Loved Tale series with, many would say, the scariest of all villains – brilliantly illustrated by Eric Winter. Many remember Rumpelstiltskin, in a rage, stamping his foot.  One of the scariest of the Ladybird villains, as I say.  But wasn’t the real villain of this tale the king?
