Publisher's Synopsis
Thumbelina is as sweet and delicate as the flower she was born in and no bigger than her mother's thumb. She grows older, but no taller in their happy home until she awakens one morning to a terrible surprise: an ugly mother toad has kidnapped her and wants her to marry her even more awful toad son. So begins Hans Christian Anderson's classic story of hardship, adventure and friendship. In this stunning full colour hardback edition the story is updated with bright modern paintings from artist Kelly Vivanco.
