About this audiobook
"The Little Match Girl" (Danish: Den Lille Pige med Svovlstikkerne, meaning "The little girl with the matchsticks") is a short story by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen. The story, about a dying child's dreams and hope, was first published in 1845. It has been adapted to various media, including an animated short film, a television musical, and an animated virtual reality story called "Allumette".

She is already shivering from cold and early hypothermia, and she is walking barefoot having lost her too large slippers.

The girl takes shelter in a nook or alley and sits down...
