Summary
Long ago, in the merry days of good King Arthur, there lived a ploughman and his wife. They were very poor but would have been content and happy if only they could have had a little child.
One day, having heard of the great fame of the magician Merlin, who was living at the court of King Arthur, the wife persuaded her husband to go and tell him of their trouble. Having arrived at the court, the man besought Merlin with tears in his eyes to give them a child, saying that they would be quite content even though it should be no bigger than his thumb.
Merlin determined to grant the request, and to the countryman’s astonishment, when he reached home he found that his wife had a son who, wonderful to relate, was no bigger than his father’s thumb!
