Thumbeline

One night, as Thumbeline lay sleeping, an ugly toad hopped through the window and carried her away. So begins the first of many adventures for tiny Thumbeline, a pretty little girl no bigger than your thumb. Among one of Hans Christian Andersen's earliest stories, Thumbeline has been enchantingly illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger. The internationally acclaimed artist depicts Thumbeline's charming miniature world and captures all the dangers and delights of this satisfying story of virtue and unselfishness rewarded.
