The Little Fir-tree
Hans Christian Andersen
Hardcover
(Parragon, March 15, 2003)
Deep in the forest, quite hidden from view among the tall pines a small fir-tree grew. The taller trees laughed when they heard the fir moan, "I wish I were taller, I can't wait 'til I'm grown!" A traditional winter's tale from Hans Christian Andersen, The Little Fir-tree is here retold with all the magic of the original storyteller. Beautifully illustrated by Caroline Pedler, this book captures the thrill of a traditional childhood Christmas.
