Matchless $8.79 The beloved author of Wicked reimagines Hans Christian Andersen's classic story "The Little Match Girl" for modern readers in this charming beautifully illustrated gift book Each year National Public Radio asks a writer to compose a story with a Christmas theme. In 2008 Gregory Maguire offered a new twist on a classic tale reinventing the Hans Christian Andersen classic "The Little Match Girl." When the story was first translated from Danish and published in England in the mid-nineteenth century the match girl's dying visions of lights and a grandmother in heaven were often interpreted as metaphors of religious salvation. In Matchless Maguire adds a different dimension to the story intertwining the match girl's tale with that of a young boy Frederik whose own yearnings are the catalyst for a better future for himself and his family. Maguire uses his storytelling magic to rekindle Andersen's original intentions and to suggest transcendence the permanence of spirit and the continuity that links the living and the dead. |
