Description

Bishop has put his unique stamp on this lavish retelling of a classic fairy tale.
The adventures of little Tom as he is swallowed by a cow, flies on the back of a butterfly and enjoys the fine life at the King's Court are beautifully depicted in the rich and detailed illustrations.
Subtitled The True History of Sir Thomas Thumb, Tom's life story is told in chapters from his magical birth to his sad death from a spider's bite, interspersed with gorgeous double-page spreads of illustrations that fill in many of the details.
