EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the enchanted world of Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tale, Thumbelina, a tiny girl no larger than a thumb, embarks on a magical journey filled with wonder, friendship, and adventure. In this scene illustrated by the renowned English artist Mabel Lucie Attwell, published by Raphael Tuck around 1912, Thumbelina is seen sitting on a lily pad in the heart of a serene pond, surrounded by vibrant water lilies and colorful flowers. The delicate Thumbelina, dressed in a beautiful red gown with a white apron, gazes intently at a majestic swan, her heart filled with longing. The swan, enchanted by her beauty, has been following her closely, hoping to win her love. Thumbelina, however, is determined to find her true love, the prince who was promised to her at birth. The intricate details of Attwell's illustration transport us to a fantastical realm where dreams come true. The gentle ripples in the water reflect the soft hues of the setting sun, casting a warm glow over the scene. The playful frogs and dragonflies add a touch of whimsy, while the elegant swan embodies grace and elegance. This timeless tale, first published in 1835, continues to captivate readers of all ages with its enchanting storyline and beautiful illustrations. Mabel Lucie Attwell's interpretation of Thumbelina and her world is a testament to the enduring appeal of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale.
