Thumbelina

Of course, you know the story of the tiny girl who was born from a flower and made friends with a swallow. Thumbelina is a character from Andersen's fairy tale, well known to both adults and children. But, if you think about it, Thumbelina can be so different! She has been depicted in so many ways in illustrations — timid and brave, shy and determined, joyful and sad. Each artist creates their own image of the girl from the flower — and every time a new fairy tale emerges. You hold in your hands a story told by the wonderful illustrator Anton Lomayev, who has long been known for his unique and whimsical drawings for the books of famous fairy tale writers. His charming red-haired Thumbelina looks at the world sometimes with curiosity, sometimes with sadness, and sometimes with a shy smile. From the pages of this amazingly beautiful and colorful book, a floral aroma, an autumn breeze, and an early frost waft through. Delicate colors, graceful tiny details, memorable images — these are the new illustrations by Anton Lomayev for Andersen's immortal story.
