Thumbelina

Of course, you know the story of the tiny girl who appeared from a flower and made friends with a swallow. Thumbelina is a character well known to both adults and children from Andersen's fairy tale. But if you think... about it, Thumbelina can be quite different! She has been depicted in so many ways in illustrations – shy and brave, timid and determined, cheerful and sad. Each artist creates their own image of the girl from the flower, and each time a new fairy tale emerges. You hold in your hands a story told by the wonderful illustrator Anton Lomaev, who has long been known for his unique and whimsical illustrations 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. The pages of this incredibly beautiful and colorful book are infused with the scent of flowers, a autumn breeze, and an early frost. Gentle colors, delicate tiny details, memorable images – such are the new illustrations by Anton Lomaev for Andersen's immortal story.
