Synopsis: This &“faithful retelling&” of the Hans Christian Andersen tale is &“a jewel box of a work whose pages invite lingering&” (Publishers Weekly). From bestselling and multiple award-winning artist Sylvia Long comes an exquisite version of Hans Christian Andersen&’s beloved tale about a thumb-size girl and her larger-than-life adventures. Jewel-toned paintings depict the story&’s settings, from light and airy meadows to Mole&’s dark and dismal underground home—while whimsical details bring the classic cast of characters to life and make this story-time favorite a visual feast. &“Her watercolors bring out the wonder of the natural world with an almost emotional intensity.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“The illustrator has made a lush and vivid world for her Thumbelina to inhabit.&” —Kirkus Reviews
