Description

A farmer’s wife who had always wanted a child asked a wise old woman where she could find one. The old woman gave her a magic grain of corn that grew into a beautiful flower, & inside the flower sat the most perfect little girl. The farmer’s wife called her Thumbelina because she was exactly the same size as a thumb, & they lived happily together until the evening when a great ugly toad leaped through a broken window, seized the tiny child, & hopped off with her. So began poor Thumbelina’s fantastic adventures in Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale. Emma Chichester Clark brings Thumbelina’s miniature world to life in vibrant color & with richly imagined detail. This new ed. of a favorite story will enchant young readers. Reinf. bind. Ages 5-9.
