Bookroo's summary
In a world too big for her, Thumbelina, a girl no larger than a thumb, faces unexpected adventures. Captured by a toad and stranded on a lilypad, her journey to freedom begins with the help of unlikely allies. Will she find a place where she truly belongs, or will the vast countryside hold more surprises? This enchanting tale, brought to life with exquisite illustrations, invites readers to explore a world of wonder and resilience.
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. This wonderful new edition of Thumbelina faithfully reproduces Beskow’s classic illustrations in a collectable picture book featuring a unique hand-crafted design, premium-quality paper, gold foil signature and a luxurious cloth spine.
