About this word search
Rumpelstiltskin is one of the longest names in any fairy tale, and the whole plot turns on guessing it. The Pied Piper comes from the German town of Hamelin, and the story was told in English verse by Robert Browning.
Goldilocks and the Three bears is an English tale, first written down by the poet Robert Southey in the 1830s, though in his version the visitor was an old woman.
Rumpelstiltskin and Fairy godmother are the best anchors in an eighteen-square grid where words face any of the eight ways. The Z in Rapunzel and the K in Kingdom and Goldilocks help after that.
