The Steadfast Tin Soldier by Hans Christian Andersen
The Steadfast Tin Soldier, one of Hans Christian Andersen's most haunting and romantic tales, has enchanted generations of young readers around the world. Originally published in a Christmas booklet in 1838, it is a story of love, loss, courage, loyalty, and endurance - the tragic tale of a one-legged tin soldier who suffers a terrible fate all for the love of a beautiful little paper dancer.Cursed by a jealous goblin the toy soldier is sent flying out of the window, plummeting three stories to the street below. From there he is carried, farther and farther from his love, on a perilous adventure.But throughout his ordeal, the little soldier remains steadfast, standing sturdy and staunch on his one leg, shouldering his musket, ever true to his beloved little dancer.Award-winning Italian illustrator Gianni de Conno captures all the dangers and delights, the heartbreak and humour, of Andersen's classic tale in bold, wonderfully imagined paintings that are sure to captivate a new generation of children.
