In a world too big for her, Thumbelina, a girl no larger than a thumb, is whisked away by a toad and held captive on a lilypad. With the help of some fish, she escapes, embarking on a journey through the countryside. As she navigates this vast world, will she find a place to call home and friends to cherish? This enchanting tale, brought to life with beautiful illustrations, invites readers to join Thumbelina on her quest for belonging and adventure.
From the publisher
Elsa Beskow’s charming illustrations bring to life this classic Hans Christian Andersen tale of a thumb-sized girl who has big adventures.
Thumbelina is so small she sleeps in a walnut shell bed with a rose petal sheet. One day, a toad steals her away from her home and keeps her captive on a lilypad, until some fish set her free to find her way through the countryside.
Will Thumbelina ever find a new home among friends?
Available in English for the first time in thirty years, this beautiful book will be a wonderful addition to the shelves of Elsa Beskow admirers everywhere.
