The abbreviated tale
Hans Christian Andersen's popular fairy tale "Thumbelina", also known as "Little Tiny", is about a tiny, intrepid heroine. The tiny girl starts off at home sailing in a tulip petal on a plate in her mother's kitchen. When she is forced into the outside world, she escapes her threatening suitors, including a huge, ugly toad and a dreary mole, and, through her goodness and courage, she marries the loving King of the Flowers, who is as tiny as she is.
