Thumbelina
Thumbelina is so small she sleeps in a walnut shell bed with a rose petal sheet. One day, a toad steals her away from her home to marry his son and keeps her captive on a lilypad, until she is rescued by a beetle who takes her back to his family. She runs away into the forest only to be met by a mole who thinks she is so lovely he must marry her. Eventually Thumbalina escapes on the back of a swallow.
