pocket-handkerchief-sized

The cottages were built very close together on pocket-handkerchief-sized land, each cottage small with no hallway, just each room opening onto the room immediately behind it.

In front of the house was a pocket-handkerchief-sized garden, neatly walled, which was a solid tangle of wild flowers.

My Family and Other Animals Durrell, Gerald, 1925- 1956

The excitable Gaul would have wept, kneaded his manly bosom, and alluded to his mother; the stolid Muscovite would have wept also, referring to his Little Father, the Czar; the Teuton would have poured forth oceans of turgid sentiment about the Fatherland; the dignified Spaniard would have recognised himself as a warrior upon the verge of a Homeric struggle, and said so candidly; the hysterical American would have sung "Hail, Columbia!" and waved pocket-handkerchief-sized replicas of the Star-Spangled Banner until too exhausted to agitate or vocalise.
