Hans Christian Andersen is a Danish writer best remembered as one of the greatest storytellers of children’s fairy tales. “The Brave Tin Soldier” was written between 1835 and 1872 and tells of the love and adventures of a one-legged tin soldier and a paper doll dancer he wants to make his wife.
This version of the classic tale is retold by Kiwi Opa.
Text From The Little Tin Soldier
Once upon a time,a toymaker
fashioned twenty five Brothers,
all soldiers, from the same piece of tin.
They all shouldered muskets,
They all looked straight ahead
and they all wore splendid uniforms
of red and blue.

this book is about love. The part that I liked was the part they were together. The part that I don’t like was the time he fell in the fire.
