As the snow falls and the crowds pass her by, she strikes one of her matches, hoping for a little warmth. In its flame, she sees a vision of a roaring fire in a hot stove. The match goes out, taking the vision with it. A second match conjures a vision of a vast dining room complete with a feast fit for a king. The third match reveals a towering Christmas tree. With only a few matches left, she strikes them all and sees a vision of her beloved grandmother. Only this time, it is more than a vision as the spirit of grandmother takes the little match girl with her into heaven.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Exquisite artistry...A beloved and ultimately inspiring Christmas tale presented in a simply beautiful edition, <i>The Little Match Girl</i> is an extraordinary and unreservedly recommended addition to family, elementary school, and community library Christmas themed picture book collections." <br> -- "Midwest Book Review" (12/18/2017 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a prolific writer of plays, novels, and poems.
