    About this audiobook

    The Little Match Girl is a story about a child's dreams and undying hope. On a cold New Year's Eve, a young, poor girl tries to sell matches in the street. She is already shivering from cold and early hypothermia. Still, she is afraid to go home because her father will beat her for not selling any matches. She shelters in a nook and sits down. The girl lights the matches to warm herself. In their glow, she starts seeing the dreamlike visions, such as a Christmas tree and a holiday feast...
