This is an award-winning and wholly original retelling of “Rumplestiltskin.” But the gleam of gold conjures a shadowy past-secrets ensnaring generations of Millers. To get the thread, Charlotte must strike a bargain with its maker, the mysterious Jack Spinner. It promises a future for her sister, jobs for her townsfolk, security against her grasping uncle-maybe even true love. ![]() The gold thread promises Charlotte Miller a chance to save her family’s beloved woolen mill.
