When a tiny girl named thumbelina gets kidnapped from her home by a toad, many adventures follow. A victorian editor gave her the english name under which she is now most familiar, thumbelina In terms of analysis, we can say that ‘thumbelina’ contains many of the classic tropes of fairy tales A kindly but lonely heroine, a frog suitor, a prince with whom the heroine lives happily ever after.
When thumbelina meets the prince of the fairies, it’s love at first sight But within the flower, upon the green velvet stamens, sat a very delicate and graceful little maiden She was scarcely half as long as a thumb, and they gave her the name of little thumb, or thumbelina, because she was so small. This enchanting story follows the adventure of thumbelina, a tiny girl born from a flower, who faces a series of trials and decisions about where she truly belongs
After being kidnapped by a toad intending to marry her off to her son, she escapes with the help of kind river creatures.
