Dwarf throwing? It'll impress Knut! (15)

I believe the answer is:

rumpelstiltskin

'dwarf' is the definition.
(fairy tale character)

'throwing? it'll impress knut' is the wordplay.
'throwing?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'thrown' mean this).
'itll'+'impress'+'knut'='itllimpressknut'
'itllimpressknut' anagrammed gives 'RUMPELSTILTSKIN'.

(Other definitions for rumpelstiltskin that I've seen before include "wee chap" , "Fairytale character (Grimm)" , "Character from fairy tale" , "mischievous rascal" , "[FAIRY STORY REF]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
