Thumbelina
may be only been 1-5/8 inches tall, but her life is not small.
At a young
age, she is taken from her home by a mother frog as a bride-to-be.
She escapes
only to become betrothed to a blind mole. Thumbelina does not want
to marry a mole, but she doesn’t seem to have much choice. While
she tries to find a way back to her mother, she has many adventures
and is even taken in as a housekeeper to a mouse. She is a delightful
storyteller and uses her talents to meet many new friends. Will
she ever make it home or will she find herself as an unwilling bride?
Will her stories keep her from danger? Read Thumbelina, Tiny
Runaway Bride to find out.
