Modern Interpretations of Thumbelina
I am looking for modern interpretations of the tale to list on the Modern Interpretations of Thumbelina. I have several already but I am looking for more. If you have more to add in addition to what I have already listed on the above page, please share here or in an email to me.
Thanks for the help!

Re: Modern Interpretations of Thumbelina
I'm certain I read a story in one of the Windling/Datlow anthologies that featured a retelling of this tale. I (of course) have hunted through my stuff and can't seem to locate it. I recall it had a very disturbing tone, and Thumbelina's bones had been collected as river pearls after her fall from the sparrow. I bet Terri remembers.

Tiny
Francesca Lia Block has a modern retelling in The Rose and the Beast: Fairy Tales Retold, called "Tiny."

Whoops!
And, had I gone to the link before posting, I would have seen it already there! *shakes head* Silly me.

Re: Whoops!
There is indeed a Thumbelina story in one of the "Snow White, Blood Red" volumes, but alas, I can't remember the name and author. I'm away from home and can't check in the volumes themselves -- perhaps someone else can?

Re: Whoops!
Redtriskell, do you mean Susan Wade's "Ivory Bones"? It's in Silver Birch, Blood Moon. Gorgeous ... I love seeing tales told from the viewpoints of peripheral characters, and the mole character's perspective is fascinating.

Re: Modern Interpretations of Thumbelina
Do you mean "no Bigger Than My Thumb" by Esther M Friesner? It's in "Black Swan, White Raven"
