Excellent 1953 first edition.
Based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, Tonggren's Thumbelina tells the timeless story of a tiny girl who embarks on an enchanting journey through the natural world. Beautiful, mid-century illustrations of the toad, field mice, and swallows she encounters along the way bring this lovely tale to life. Each page features full-color artwork that captures the magical tone of the story.
The book is in very good condition, with all pages intact and a secure binding. The pages are clean and unmarked, with no writing or tears. The cover is bright and colorful, showing only light surface wear consistent with age. The foil spine is fully intact with only slight rubbing. The original owner’s name is written on the inside cover nameplate and is dated 10/13/1954.
A lovely, well-preserved copy, ideal for collectors of Little Golden Books or fans of classic fairy tales and vintage illustrations.
