I love fairy tales. I used to read them a lot when I was a kid, all the details didn't stick, but I think they're great. Hans Christian Andersen is the man for me. I like 'Thumbelina'
It's about a little girl so small she lives in a flower. She finds herself living with a mouse, and while there finds a swallow she thinks is dead, but she nurses it back to health. Then she's almost forced to marry a mole, and she doesn't want to. So the swallow takes her away from the bad situation. Thumbelina finds a nice place to live with other tiny people, and they give her some wings for herself. So the bird leaves her even though he doesn't want to, and sings the story of Thumbelina.
