    Such a fine and lovely stamp.
    I totally forgot this story, despite of the fact that we read a lot of Anderson's stories as a child, and should look it up, I think in Dutch it/she is named Duimelijntje.

    'FRagile' is the perfect way to describe the art on this stamp. Very pretty.

    How wonderfully the artist makes her look small. I like the thought of a Golden Apple award.
