Little Thumbelina is one of Hans Christian Andersen's most popular and best loved fairy-tale characters. Born in a tulip blossom, Thumbelina is abducted from her happy home and has to go through numerous dangers and adventures before living happily ever after with the prince of the flower elves.

The Russian artist Anastassija Archipowa has illustrated a great number of fairy-tale books for Esslinger in her very special style. Delicate, light as air and yet with a moving power of expression she makes Andersen's characters come to life in a detailed world. Inimitably beautiful!
