The Tinderbox

audiobook & e-book


Emma Samms narrates "The Tinderbox", the story of a soldier who meets a wicked witch on his way home from the war . She promises him great riches if he is willing to dive into the bottom of a hollow tree for her. In this tree, there are three chambers, each with a chest full of silver. She tells him that he can take anything he wants there, as long as he in return, brings her back her old lighter from inside the tree.

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for his children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into over 160 languages, and today there is no child or adult that isn't familiar with Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to the stage and to the screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" from 1989 and the 2013 "Frozen" franchise, which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen".

Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2nd, is celebrated as the International Children's Book Day.
