"Thumbling's Travels" (also known as "Thumbling as Journeyman")[1] is a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm in Grimm's Fairy Tales in 1812 (KHM 45). The original German name for the character is "Daumerling," not to be confused with the similar tale "Daumesdick" or KHM 37, which was added in 1819. Both tales are frequently translated into English as "Tom Thumb" or "Thumbling" and are categorized as Aarne-Thompson type 700.[2]
