Petite prayer book featured in auction of teeny tomes

A MINIATURE copy of the Lord’s Prayer, believed to be one of the smallest books in existence, went on view at Christie’s auction house yesterday.

The tiny tome measures just 5mm by 5mm, barely a quarter of the size of a postage stamp.

Printed in Munich in 1952, it contains the Lord’s Prayer in six languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish and Swedish.
