Once upon a time there was a woman who was sad because she had no children. One day she planted a magic seed and from the seed grew a flower. Inside the flower was a tiny, exquisite girl no bigger than the woman's thumb. Her name was Thumbelina.
The two lived happily together until an ugly old toad snuck in and snatched Thumbelina away. So began Thumbelina's adventures in a world full of dangers for little people. Luckily, size isn't all that matters, and Thumbelina's kindness and courage bring her long-lasting happiness.One of the most popular fairy tales ever written!
This classic edition pairs the complete, unabridged story translated by a distinguished Hans Christian Andersen authority with the picture-book debut of an accomplished artist. A perfect gift for the holidays!
*"A remarkable, lovely version of one of the author's most beloved tales. . ."
