Synopsis
Once upon a time, in a far off land, there was a little boy named Tom Thumb.  He lived on a farm with his parents and many brothers, all of whom despised him because he was so small and puny.   Times were hard and, during a long war, the farm was raided by soldiers, who took all they could find, leaving Tom’s family even more poor and desolate than before.  Realising that they all faced starvation, Tom’s parents took their children into the forest one day, and abandoned them there.  The children not only had marauding wolves to be afraid of, but also the warriors of a fearsome soldier with an iron leg.  But the greatest of all their fears was the child-eating Ogre...
