Rumpelstiltskin and Little Thumb - Fairy...

Bedtime Stories with Taesha Glasgow
About this episode

Drift off tonight to two fairytale sleep stories - Rumpelstiltskin and Little Thumb. Rumpelstiltskin is the Grimms' fairytale featuring a little man that can spin straw into gold. Little Thumb is very similar to Hansel and Gretel with children being left in the woods and defeating enemies. A little warning that these classic tales can be a little gruesome.
