📖📚⏳🕯✨🎨 Thumbelina is a literary fairy tale written by Hans Christian Anderson.

An adventure story from the feminine point of view with its moral being people are happiest with their own kind. They point out that Thumbelina is a passive character, the victim of ...

...circumstances; whereas her male counterpart Tom Thumb (one of the tale's inspirations) is an active character, makes himself felt, and exerts himself.

Danish critics were not enthusiastic.

Hans Christian Andersen in 1836
