One of Hans Christian Andersen's most haunting and romantic tales, this is the story of a one-legged tin soldier who falls deeply in love with a beautiful paper dancer. But a curse from an evil goblin sends the tin soldier off on a series of dangerous adventures that carry him farther and farther away from the object of his love. Throughout, the tin soldier remains staunch and fearless until finally he is reunited with the dancer, although not in the manner he had hoped. Award-winning artist P.J. Lynch's stunning illustrations add a dramatic, unexpected element to this classic and moving love story. - Back cover.

Book Details
Edition Notes
This is a favorite among Hans Andersen’s stories. Children enjoy it first for its story of the adventures of a tin soldier, and his love for the little dancer. As they grow older the meaning of the story is deeper. Finally adults see in it things children do not.
Marcia Brown has illustrated the story with much feeling. The lovely blueviolet of the background gives it an other-world, spiritual quality, yet it has also strength and vitality.
