Nobody makes fairy tales like Hans Christian Anderson did...

I grew up on Thumbelina, or Poucette as she was called in French. She was one of seven fairies and HCA was hugely critisised by the Danish who did not take well to his stories...but what the hell did they know?! I have vivid memories of falling asleep dreaming of Thumbelina's miniature world, filled with friendly flutterflies and sailing lilypads...Hans can keep the ugly, evil toads though!
