This was a very good book. It gave a nice backstory to the villain of Rumpelstiltskin, making him much less villainous. I never would have imagined him being friends with a bad-ass Red Riding Hood. Rump is a funny protagonist with a great view on the world around him. His quest to find himself and the rest of his name is imaginative, yet true to the original fairy-tale. I've always wondered how Rumpelstiltskin got his name, and this finally cleared it all up for me.
