A nice way of offering an alternative perspective on the classic tale. It's extremely rare to find fairy tales and fables that are from the so called villain's point of view.
Admittedly he started out as a villain by taking advantage of her and then contemplating taking her child, very similar to the original, but that change of heart shows he has a human side, a conscience.
I believe it's important to teach children that there are always two sides to a story and you need to hear both before making a judgement and labeling them as a villain.
I like the rhyme you made (I assume you thought it up as the original is different) and it works well, - I can imagine the humorous scene occurring in the woods, with Rumplestiltskin weaving in and out of the path haphazardly.

Good work! I was drawn to this especially as I'm writing new fairy tales for my son, and you've given me a couple of ideas. *Smile*

An interesting read, - I read it twice to try to fully grasp what was happening. Good use of words and the reading flowed easily. Am I right in thinking that they've all been brushing through Toxicodendron and are now suffering the effects, and his wife is having an affair?
