About Cinderella - And Other Girls Who Lost Their Slippers (Origins of Fairy Tales from Around the World)

This touching fairy tale is Hans Christian Andersen's tragic story of a young girl who's left alone on the snowy streets the night of New Year's Eve. In the cold and dark of a snowy 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 begins to envision the most beautiful things around her. First published in 1824, this classic story is a moral tale, evidencing the result of selfish or uncaring behaviour. 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.
