Product Description
he story of the little girl so named because of her tiny size is one of the most popular and enduring fairy tales of all time. Children can identify with the plucky heroine who uses cleverness instead of size and strength to make her own way in the wide, wide world. Lauren Mills's delicate watercolors create a miniature land where a walnut shell covered with violet petals serves as a bed, a leaf becomes a suitable umbrella, and field mice and birds are Thumbelina's unlikely companions. Enchanting details drawn from nature bring this imaginative story to life. ... Read more

Product Description
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) ist der wohl berühmteste Dichter und Schriftsteller Dänemarks. Schon am Ende seiner Schulzeit schrieb er das Gedicht Das sterbende Kind. Dieses wurde als kleines Meisterwerk anerkannt, in dem der Autor die Welt aus den Augen eines kleinen Kindes betrachtete, was insgesamt für sein Schaffen kennzeichnend wurde. Andersen unternahm mehrere Reisen nach Deutschland, England, Italien, Spanien und in das Osmanische Reich. Unter dem Einfluss der italienischen Landschaft entstanden dann die ersten Texte. In den dreißiger Jahren des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts fand der junge Dichter in Deutschland größere Anerkennung als in seinem eigenen Vaterland. Sein Roman Der Improvisator (1835) erschien bald in deutscher Übersetzung. Andersen schrieb mehr als 160 Märchen in acht Bänden. Dabei bearbeitete er Volksmärchen, bis sie seinen literarischen Ansprüchen genügten und von Kindern verstanden werden konnten. Weitere Werke des Autors sind u. a.: Das Märchen Meines Lebens Ohne Dichtung (1847), Die Beiden Baroninnen (1848), Historier, Erzählungen und Märchen (1852) und Aus Herz und Welt (1860). ...
