The little match girl introduced.

The Little Match Girl tells the tragic fate of a little girl who sells matches on Christmas Eve.

The little girl didn't eat all day because she didn't sell a match. She is cold and hungry. She struck the first match and saw the delicious roast goose. She polished the second match and saw the beautiful Christmas tree; She polished the third match and met her long-lost grandmother. She wanted her grandmother to accompany her and lit a whole match.

However, when the match went out, all this was gone. This is how the little girl died tragically on Christmas Eve. No one knows the beautiful sight she saw at the last minute.

Extended information about the creative background of The Little Match Girl;

1845 10, Andersen went to Italy again. Christmas is coming, and friends in Gloucester Stirton have repeatedly invited Andersen to spend Christmas there.

Andersen's carriage moved slowly in the streets of Glouceston. He wants to experience the Christmas atmosphere in this city. However, at the end of the busy street, he saw a middle-aged woman begging weakly with a basket on her arm and a thin baby on her back. Not far away, a little girl who is only about five years old is selling matches, and her hands are frozen.

However, not many people passed by, and the little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes didn't sell a match. When Andersen came back, he wrote The Little Match Girl.
