HERES A CONTEMPORARY retelling of Andersens tale, revamped and fleshed out for todays hip tweens. As she did in Cinderella (As If You Didnt Already Know the Tale), Ensor re-imagines this classic, adding her own inimitable humor, flair, and stylish black-and-white silhouette spot illustrations. Thumbelina is that story most of us cant quite remember. Okay, sure, its about a tiny girl just the size of your thumb. But did you know that her troubles (or adventures, if you prefer) begin when she begs her mother to let her sleep outside on the porch? And that in no time she is engaged to a frog, and then a mole, and even receives a proposal from a miniature king?From the Hardcover edition.
