Little Inchkin: A Tale of Old Japan (Windy Edge) - Tapa blanda

Little Inchkin is the tiny hero of a well-known Japanese story reminiscent of Tom Thumb. Only as big as a lotus flower, he fashions a sword out of a needle and straw, and armor out of beetles' wings — and sets out to seek his fortune. How he proves his valor, wins the hand of a princess, and is granted his dearest wish by the Lord Buddha is charmingly depicted in this richly illustrated retelling of the legendary tale.
