{"product_id":"thumbelina","title":"Thumbelina","description":"\u003cb\u003eLuminous illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline combine with Brian Alderson’s wry retelling for a gorgeous gift edition of a well-loved tale.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A childless woman visits a witch who gives her a barleycorn — and hidden in its bloom is a tiny girl. For one so small, Thumbelina’s life is full of misadventures as she floats through the pages like a wisp on the wind, encountering kind and unkind creatures in succession. But old Mrs. Toad with her \"rek-kek-kek\" and the alarming Man in Gray cannot crush her spirits, and Thumbelina’s gentle concern for a winged soul in need paves the way to her freedom and happiness. In a warm, witty retelling accessible to younger children, Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of a girl no bigger than a thumb is lavishly illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline. Showcasing art evocative of Victorian storybooks — with a touch of the dreamlike Rousseau — this is truly a breathtaking edition of a treasured classic.","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47625488072959,"sku":"*R0017301*","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/24050293482459.jpg?v=1764880088","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/thumbelina","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
