The visible stories include "The Riddle," in which a prince and princess must discover the name of a magical manikin who has spun straw into gold, with the climactic revelation being "Rumpelstiltskin"; and "Donkey Skin," featuring a princess who refuses to marry and is transformed into a creature wearing a donkey's hide as a disguise.

Contains 4 stories
The Enchanted Stag
8 pp · Fantasy

Fleeing from a vengeful witch, a brother and sister encounter an enchanted brook that transforms the boy into a faun—a transformation that forces them to seek refuge in an abandoned cottage, where their lives take an unexpected turn when they're discovered by the King. Years later, dark magic threatens to destroy the happiness they've found, but the power of true devotion may be stronger than any curse.

The Riddle
8 pp · Fantasy

Prince Michael and his valet Paddy encounter a mysterious young woman named Iris trapped under the spell of the Black Witch Madame Blackheart—and when a enchanted raven inadvertently eliminates a band of dangerous robbers, the trio finds themselves on the road to Santa Lucia, where a clever princess has challenged suitors to answer an impossible riddle or lose their heads. Michael accepts the dangerous wager, and when the princess resorts to supernatural trickery to steal the answer, he must rely on the very events that freed Iris to prove his wit is a match for hers.

The Youth Who Learned to Shiver and Shake
8 pp · Fantasy

A fearless youth sets out to master the art of trembling—convinced that shivering and shaking is a skill everyone else possesses and he alone lacks. When a chance job offer leads him from a humble graveyard to a haunted castle filled with genuine threats, Bud discovers whether courage born of ignorance can overcome the very real dangers that lurk within its walls. Will his quest finally teach him the fear he's been chasing all along?

Donkey Skin

Princess Jacqueline refuses to marry a tyrant king, who punishes her defiance by cursing her to wear a donkey skin—but she escapes his kingdom and finds work in a new land, where she catches the eye of Prince Larnado. When a magical ring she secretly bakes into a cake leads the lovesick prince to search the kingdom for its owner, Jacqueline must rely on her fairy godmother's enchanted help to bridge the gap between who she is and who the prince believes her to be.
