Ara, the daughter of Peter, the miller, and Amelie, the finest spinner and weaver in Belstrumburg, learns to spin and weave from her mother. She has an idyllic life until tragedy strikes and her father utters the fateful words, "My daughter can spin straw into gold." Rumpelstiltskin is a story hundreds of years old, but people who think they know it are oh, so very wrong.
