23. Tom Thumb

Greetings dear listener, here is a tale both small and great—the story of a boy no bigger than a walnut but with a heart as bold as a lion’s. Tom Thumb is a tale of cleverness, mischief, and adventure and through it, we see that it is not the size of one’s body,but the spirit within, that truly shapes a hero. So settle in, relax, breathe and let your imagination wander off into slumber.
