En skrytsam mjölnare råkar berätta för kungen att hans dotter kan spinna guld av halm. Det kan hon såklart inte! Kungen låser in flickan med hot om att hugga huvudet av henne om hon inte spunnit halm till guld innan nästa morgon ... Hjälp dyker upp från oväntat håll, men flickan måste använda all sin list för att gå segrande ur den här sagan! Den hyllade barnboksförfattaren Mac Barnett har tidigare tolkat De tre bockarna Bruse, och nu kommer en lika underhållande version av bröderna Grimms klassiska saga Rumpelstiltskin.

This book is from the future. In the future, books are very popular. One of the most popular books in the future is called THE FUTURE BOOK, a silly, innovative picture book from two of today’s best picture book creators to read aloud again and again! You might think you know what the future is like, and what words and phrases we use. But lots of things are different here in the future. Have you seen the colour BLORANGE? You haven’t? And how is it you say “goodbye” again? It’s not “YOU SMELL LIKE A BABY?” Well . . . that might seem silly to you, but it’s absolutely normal for us in the future. We invite you to turn the pages of this book to discover what else has changed in the future, and to see how the funny word combinations lead to a brilliantly bonkers narrative that will have you rolling in the aisles of the BOLLY BOLLY HOO HOO (that's what we call the supermarket in the future).
