The Fantastical Heartbreaking Classic

Since a child, I’ve fancied this book and it’s depressing yet colorful narrative. Hans Christian Andersen painted the harsh cold reality of the hard times on a canvas ever so enchanting.

This audiobook’s narration shows a flawless performance of The Little Match Girl and it’s unfortunate chain of events.

The only complaint I have is that this exquisitely written short story wasn’t any longer, but then again it’s in the name: “short”.

Phenomenal narrative with a marvelous narration. Highly recommend!

The Little Match Girl

Tasmin Greig did a wonderful job narrating a story that I remember from my childhood.

She's Gone to Her Grandmother

The Little Match Girl . . . it gets to me EVERY SINGLE TIME . . . the cruelty, the harshness of the winter, the poverty, the innocence of childhood, the obedient little girl trying her best . . . this short retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's story hit me just as hard . . . the precious little child is cold no more, gone to her eternal home . . . and to her grandmother.
