Among major comic book publishers, both major superhero universes have a hero who shrinks. At Marvel, it's Ant-Man. For DC, it's the Atom. Superhero comics usually draw more on myth and pulp fiction than folk tale but I'd be hard pressed to find tiny heroes in either Greek mythology or the pulp magazines.Adam Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129844426168129584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968132365438511409.post-10514218833229315402016-09-27T09:05:50.303-05:002016-09-27T09:05:50.303-05:00I know, there are so many more Thumbling tales tha...I know, there are so many more Thumbling tales than I realized either! I'm not familiar with the Mrs. Pepperpot books, but there's always a chance! There's also the book "The Borrowers" which I loved and even the movie "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" and its sequels, hard to say if they were influenced by the fairy tales or not, but I would imagine most people have heard of Thumbelina or Tom Thumb at some point, so it might be subconscious influences too.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097525403940409218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6968132365438511409.post-58148829682882659572016-09-25T19:26:17.102-05:002016-09-25T19:26:17.102-05:00Fascinating!

I'd never paid much attention to the abusive mother/perverted father figures in Cinderella/Donkeyskin tales before, but now they make a disturbing kind of sense. Even more disturbing by the mirroring of these tales of abuse in real life. Very interesting from a literary point of view, but also very tragic historically and realistically. Same for DM's reasons for marrying the abusive prince.<br /><br />I also wonder if any of these thumbling tales inspired the Mrs Pepperpot books. I loved them as a child, and they also feature some folklore/fairy tale-like elements. Only, the small main protagonist is the size of a pepperpot instead of a thumb, and she's an old woman instead of a child.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311936206951108530noreply@blogger.com
