Rediscover Hans Christian Andersen’s heartbreaking fairy tale, The Little Match Girl, in this beautiful, illustrated edition from Pook Press’ Golden Age of Illustration Series.
Once upon a cold and dark New Year’s Eve, a young girl desperately tries to sell enough matches so she can return home without facing punishment from her father. But as night draws in, and the child fails to sell her wares, she begins to use the matches as a last attempt to stay warm. As she loses consciousness, she experiences beautiful visions of warmth, food, and love, offering brief comfort from her harsh reality.
As part of the Golden Age of Illustration series, this edition of The Little Match Girl features beautiful artwork from the likes of Arthur Rackham, Mabel Lucie Attwell, Harry Clarke, Honor Appleton, Maxwell Armfield, among others. A wonderful addition to any library, this timeless story is reimagined here as a perfect keepsake for collectors and fairy tale lovers alike.
