Vibrant illustrations capture the magic of this favorite old story
An old woman gives a farmer's wife a magic grain of corn that grows into a beautiful flower, inside of which sits the most perfect little girl. The farmer's wife calls her Thumbelina because she's exactly the same size as a thumb, and they live happily together until the evening a huge toad leaps through a window and hops off with her. So begin Thumbelina's fantastic adventures in Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale.
Jane Falloon's retelling retains all of the magic of Andersen's original story, and Emma Chichester Clark brings Thumbelina's miniature world to life with richly imagined detail.
