"Tom Tit Tot" is a wonderfully quirky variation of the Rumpelstiltskin story you may already know and love.
Rumpelstiltskin and Tom Tit Tot are classified as “The Name of the Supernatural Helper” stories and appear amongst a handful of stories academics have identified as the very oldest known stories told, possibly dating as far back as 6000 years.
While the German tale features straw spun into gold, this English version tells of a young woman who must spin five skeins of flax each day to avoid a terrible fate.
Collected in Suffolk, England, and published by folklorist Joseph Jacobs in 1890, "Tom Tit Tot" is considered one of the finest English fairy tales. It shares the same ancient story pattern found across Europe—from Rumpelstiltskin in Germany to Whuppity Stoorie in Scotland—but has its own charming dialect, dark humor, and that unforgettable name.
