A review by regitzexenia
The Tinderbox by Hans Christian Andersen

5.0

I admit it, I might be biased. As a Dane, I have grown up with Hans Christian Andersen's fairytales. Where many cite Harry Potter as sparking their love of stories and reading, HCA was that for me. This book contains some of my absolute favourites of his stories (he has written 157 or something in total, I believe), reading them in English was certainly a different experience and sometimes I couldn't help but recall the Danish phrasing without thinking. I will always adore these stories. Childhood magic that's more than readable as an adult as well.
