Rumpelstiltskin (AKA Tom Tit Tot) is the eponymous character and antagonist of a fairy tale which originated in Germany (where he is known as Rumpelstilzchen).
The tale was collected by the Brothers Grimm, who first published it in the 1812 edition of Children's and Household Tales. It was subsequently revised in later editions.
Joseph Jacobs (29 August 1854 - 30 January 1916) was a folklorist, literary critic and historian. His works included contributions to the Jewish Encyclopedia, translations of European works, and critical editions of early English literature. Jacobs wrote for journals and books on the subject of folklore and produced a popular series of fairy tales. (Wikipedia)
