Synopsis
A classic tale of a child no bigger than a thumb, updated for children no bigger than little.
A stunning reissue of Hans Christian Anderson's classic tale, updated with clever, clean sharp and modern paintings from artist Kelly Vivanco.
Thumbelina is as sweet and delicate as the flower she was born in and no bigger than her mother's thumb. She grows older, but no taller in their happy home until she awakens one morning to a terrible surprise: an ugly mother toad has kidnapped her and wants her to marry her even more awful toad son. So begins Hans Christian Anderson's classic story of hardship, adventure and friendship. In this stunning full colour hardback edition the story is updated with bright modern paintings from artist Kelly Vivanco.

Review
"Simply gorgeous." --"Singing Light"
Reviews for "Snow White and Rose Red," illustrated by Kelly Vivanco:
"The real stars of this adaptation are Kelly Vivanco's stunningly evocative and atmospheric paintings. The large illustrations add depth and substance to the story...Vivanco's muted, earth-toned palette is, in a way, reminiscent of the classic fairy tale illustrations of the great Arthur Rackham and represents a clear departure from the candy-coloured fairy tale adaptations of publishers such as Disney. This classic colour scheme is paired with Vivanco's wide-eyed and oddly proportioned characters to create a modern and visually arresting illustration style."
--"CM Magazine"
About the Author
Hans Christian Andersen (2 April 1805 4 August 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories, called eventyr in Danish, or fairy-tales in English, express themes that transcend age and nationality. Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Ugly Duckling', 'The Nightingale', 'The Emperor's New Clothes'; and many more. His stories have inspired plays, ballets, and both live-action and animated films.
