When a poor miller's daughter is ordered on pain and death to spin straw into gold, all seems lost until a dwarf appears and agrees to do the job--but for a terrific price. Years later the dwarf returns to collect his share of the bargain, and the girl, now queen, must forfeit her firstborn child unless she can guess the dwarf's true name. Full color.
