Beautiful stamp. I even recognised Thumbelina.
I love books' illustrations! And ahh, I loved this book when I was a child!! It was Палечка in Macedonian :)
thank you for sharing this! Has brought some lovely memories!!
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.
I'd like to visit this exhibition, wow!
How wonderfully the artist makes her look small. I like the thought of a Golden Apple award.
