Thumbelina Chain Fringed Pendant, Turquoise & Vintage Swarovski Crystal Necklace
When the story opens, a tiny girl emerges from a flower. She is named Thumbelina and is carried off by a toad. She escapes the toad and drifts on a lily pad until becoming the captive of a beetle. Eventually, she is given shelter by a field mouse who suggests she marry her neighbor, a mole. Thumbelina finds the prospect of being married to a mole unattractive and escapes the situation by fleeing to a far land with a swallow she nursed back to health during a severe winter.

Thumbelina receives a pair of wings to accompany her husband on his travels from flower to flower. - Hans Christian Andersen
