One of Andersen's most heartbreaking stories is about a little match girl who freezes on the night before Christmas, choosing not to return home for fear of her abusive father.Every time the little girl lights a match to keep herself warm, bright visions arise in front of her eyes - a fat goose that rises from a plate and goes to meet her, a Christmas tree with toys, her deceased grandmother ...In the morning, the girl is found frozen with a box of burntmatches.
The story is accompanied by illustrations from a talented Italian artist Eleonora Simeoni. These illustrations soften the tragedy of the story and help young readers get acquainted with the text.
