Known in England as Tom Tit Tot, the tale originated in central Europe in the 16th century, and was known as Rumpelstiltskin. It was attributed to French poet Rabelais and German scholar Fischart. Whether you know him as a goblin, a dwarf, a ghost, or a cripple, Rumpelstiltskin is derived from the early modern German game called 'Rumpele stilt oder der Poppart.'
