Thumbelina

Of course, you know the story of the tiny girl who was born from a flower and befriended 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 various 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 are holding a story told by the wonderful illustrator Anton Lomaev, long known for his unique and whimsical drawings for the books of famous fairy-tale authors. 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 extraordinarily beautiful and colorful book are filled with the scent of flowers, an autumn breeze, and an early frost. Delicate colors, elegant tiny details, memorable images — these are the new illustrations by Anton Lomaev for the immortal story by Andersen.
