Thumbelina by Xanthe Gresham Knight
Hans Christian Andersen's much-loved story of a tiny girl who is stolen from her home and endures many perils is beautifully retold in this exquisite new paperback edition.
"A smoothly paced, lyrical retelling of Andersen's classic that works equally well as.. an independent-reading title for early to middle graders... [Features a] small protagonist who conquers fears, overcomes harrowing encounters, stands up for herself, devises clever ideas to extricate herself from trouble, and emerges triumphant" — Kirkus Reviews
