One of Hans Christian Andersen's most haunting and romantic tales, this is the story of a one-legged tin soldier who falls deeply in love with a beautiful paper dancer. But a curse from an evil goblin sends the tin soldier off on a series of dangerous adventures that carry him farther and farther away from the object of his love. Throughout, the tin soldier remains staunch and fearless until finally he is reunited with the dancer, although not in the manner he had hoped. Award-winning artist P.J. Lynch's stunning illustrations add a dramatic, unexpected element to this classic and moving love story. - Back cover.
