The Tinderbox

The Tinderbox | Hans Christian Andersen

pick

I've always loved the stories if Hans Christian Anderson since I first heard them as a child.

This is a fabulous little collection of his trade mark fairy tales - classic yet morally ambiguous at times.
I reviewed my larger collection of HCA stories last year & there were a few overlaps, but still enjoyable 😊

The Tinderbox | Hans Christian Andersen

so-so

I've been dipping in and out of this collection of dark fairy tales gifted to me by the lovely @Kalalalatja (it's pre #MugLove Love) I finished the last story today over soup & salad. I'm not sure how I feel about these little fables...not something I would have wanted to read to my kiddies at bedtime ☺️I love that Katja shared some of her Nordic heritage with me💕💕💕

Kalalalatja They definitely are dark. I remember my teachers at school read them to us when we were little, but they aren‘t exactly bedtime stories. 😳 7y

Reviewsbylola Lol Genevieve would probably love them. 🤣🤣 7y

alisiakae Aww...I love original fairy tales in all their dark and creepy glory. Also, your soup looks delicious! 7y

BarbaraBB We read them when we were kids. Definitely as bedtime stories! And the teachers read them to us at school. We loved them! I can‘t imagine a youth without Andersen (and the German brothers Grimm) 😀! @Kalalalatja (edited) 7y

emilyhaldi Ooohhhh the creepiness makes me want to read! 7y

LeahBergen I always loved the super dark fairy tales as a kid. 7y

Cinfhen What's with you people?? What happened to happily ever after @LeahBergen @emilyhaldi @BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja @4thhouseontheleft @Reviewsbylola 🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰🏰 7y

Kalalalatja Haha we did get the happily ever afters too 😄 But as an adult, I am definitely more attrackted to the dark and creepy tales, which might have a connection to having read them as a child. 7y

BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja @Cinfhen Haha you are so right! my favourite was The Little Matchgirl. Definitely not a happy ending there... ❄️❄️ 7y

Kalalalatja @BarbaraBB not at all! But a lot of the darker stuff went right over my head as a child, I just focused on the pretty parts 😄 I also love The Little Mermaid and The Wild Swans 7y
