Adventures of Tom Thumb

From the magical moment of his birth, Tom Thumb is destined for adventure. For this magnificent little lad, no bigger than his father's thumb, has more courage & sense than a dozen grown men. Being swallowed by a cow, snatched by a crow, & gulped down again by a fish might defeat a lesser boy, but not this undaunted child. Yet even those extraordinary events could not prepare Tom for the ultimate life-or-death struggle of wit against brawn -- when the formidable giant Gembo decides he's had enough of tiny Tom's tenacity! Both Mayer's lively narrative, & Craft's wondrous paintings, inspired by 12th-century manuscript illumination, are full of mischief & surprise.
