This rounded-edge book is part of children's picture book collection illustrated by William Wallace "W. W." Denslow, a world-class illustrator and caricaturist remembered for his illustrations of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
While much of his additional work as an artist and illustrator wasn't recognized until the late twentieth century, he eventually garnered praise for his clever and often cynical designs, his striking, multicolored posters, his ability to target his illustrations by audience, and for amending popular children's verse to avoid what he considered unnecessary violence and questionable content.
Tom Thumb is a character of English folklore. Tom is no bigger than his father's thumb, and his adventures include being swallowed by a cow, tangling with giants, and becoming a favourite of King Arthur.
Now your family can enjoy this masterpiece in simplified Chinese! The high-quality print is nicely produced to capture the vivid color and exceptional detail of the original artwork.
