From the pages of the Brothers Grimm comes one of the most classic fairy tales of all time: a tale of gold and magic.

Meet Isabella, the miller’s daughter who gets into a big pickle after her father fibs that she can spin straw into gold. She is put to a test where she will have to spin straw into gold for the King by morning! Soon a strange little man appears and uses his magic to help Isabella spin the straw into gold and marry the King.

But the magical little man isn’t as kind as he seemed. In fact, Isabella soon learns she has to pay a certain price for his help: her firstborn child! And she can only keep her baby if she can guess the strange little man’s very unusual name!
