"The Little Match Girl" (S2, #5)
Manage episode 281472737 series 2799527
In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, will share the story of "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen. It is a tragic, Danish, literary tale written in 1845. The subject has similarities to Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" written two years earlier in Victorian England. Both tales focus on the fate of the poor when the world is divided into "haves" and "have nots." We'll also explore the character of the grandmother as a figure of hope and rescue.
