This classic retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's sad tale of The Little Match Girl comes to life once more through the artwork of Stanley F. Gilmore. Jr. This wonderful story is an ageless chronicle of a young girl struggling to stay warm on New Year's Eve using the very matches she is suppose to be selling to earn money for her family. With each strike of a match the little girl sees wonderful things in the flames which warm both her heart and soul.
