I actually loved the ambiguousness of the tale, not knowing whether I should like the soldier or non. Overall this is a idea-provoking story that I've been thinking almost for a couple
This is an interesting short fairy tale-esqe story. It is reminiscent of Aladdin/Ali Baba tales, simply it is likewise unique in that it is mostly full of gray areas, rather than being the black/white or good/evil of most fairy tales. It'due south a bit creepy, and as I read a review of information technology earlier today I decided to check information technology out.I really loved the ambiguousness of the tale, not knowing whether I should like the soldier or non.

Indeed, he orders them to fetch him a princess in which he is arrested for past her farther. He uses his cunning to try and save himself. I like the Tinderbox; yet, I don't think information technology is the best of the fairy tales in this edition. I don't feel that the story has an overall morale or meaning similar some of his other tales. Indeed, the Nightingale is a much more memorable tale, and the one I think this edition should have been named after. That has a clear cut meaning the reader can interpret and understand rather than a story that only happened for no particular reason.
Also in this edition are several other fairy tales such as The Carmine Shoes, The Princess on the Pea and a couple of others. I think this is a adept selection of his work, and it contains my personal favourite (The Nightingale.) If you lot've never read any of his piece of work and so this is a good place to kickoff. My four star rating of this reflects my opinion of the overall pieces together non just the Tinderbox, which on an individual ground I would give a three star rating.

Hopefully I will discover some archetype authors, from across the ages, that I may not have come across had I non bought this collection.

"I have started some 'Fairy Tales Told for Children' and believe I have succeeded. I have told a couple of tales which as a child I was happy about, and which I do non believe are known, and have written them exactly the way I would tell them to a kid."
In a later edition, Andersen confirmed his commitment to this "improved" fashion of writing to his public,
"The style should be such that one hears the narrator. Therefore, the language had to be similar to the spoken discussion; the stories are for children, just adults too should be able to listen in. The outset three fairy tales are ones I heard during childhood, in the spinning room and during the harvesting of the hops."
At the cease of this review I will name the Scandinavian folk tale Andersen is referring to. This story, The Tinderbox, may call to mind other fairy stories too, but before going whatever further, hither is a summary of the story.
A poor soldier is returning home from war. He meets a witch, who asks him, "How would you similar to be rich?" Of course, the soldier says that he would like this very much. The witch bear witness him a hollow tree, asking him to climb to the top with a rope around his waist. And so, she says, she tin can lower him down into the hollow space, to retrieve a magic tinderbox for her. She promises the soldier that inside the tree he will detect wide passages lit by a hundred lamps. At that place will be three filled to the brim with with precious coins. The witch assures the soldier that he may go on as much of this treasure every bit he likes - plus anything else he finds inside the chambers - as long as her gives her the tinderbox. The soldier can't expect to get going.
The witch likewise warns him, however, that (view spoiler)[each of the three chambers is guarded by a dog. In total at that place are three monstrous dogs, "one with eyes as large as saucers", who guards a vault filled with copper pennies, "one with optics the size of soup plates", who guards a vault filled with silver, and "one with optics every bit large as cartwheels", who guards a vault filled with gold. Simply, "Don't worry nearly him!" the witch say about each of the dogs. She has a plan. She gives the soldier her blue and white checked apron, and tells him to put each domestic dog in turn on the apron, as this will pacify each one, then that he tin can have equally much treasure every bit he likes. (This is a fairy story ... you lot have to become with it!) Apparently this does non deter the soldier in the slightest. Certain enough, the soldier finds everything as the witch told him, and fills his pockets and boots with gold coins. After he has stuffed everything near his person he tin recall of with aureate coins, he calls out to the witch to haul him support. The witch does then. "'Have you got the tinderbox?' she asks. Of course the soldier had been far as well excited at the prospect of being rich to think well-nigh that. "'I'd clean forgotten it,' he said ... 'What's then special most it?'"
(Bad movement. This is a witch, with witchy powers.)
"'Mind your ain business organization!' she said, and refused to give a reason,
And so he cut off her head. There she lay!"
(Well I didn't look that!)
The soldier collects up all his money and ready off to a nearby town. First of all he checks into the finest hotel in the place, and orders the choicest things on the bill of fare. Side by side day he kits himself out with splendid article of clothing. He is generous with his money, and makes many friends. Everyone in the town boasts well-nigh how wonderful their town is, and eventually he comes to hear of the king and his cute daugher. Nobody is allowed to see her though, his friends tell him, because "it was foretold that she will marry a common soldier."
(Both the soldier and the reader find their ears pricking upward at this news.)
As fourth dimension goes on however, the soldier's money starts to run out.
"He had to leave his fine suite and move to a poky little room in the attic. Now he had to polish his ain boots and darn his ain clothes. None of his new friends always came to encounter him; they said at that place were too many stairs to climb."
Somewhen he detect himself sitting in the dark, too poor to even beget a candle. So he remembers that at that place was the stop of one in the old witch's tinderbox, and then he goes to get information technology.
As soon as he strikes a spark from the tinderbox, the first dog - the ane with eyes equally big as saucers appears - and asks,
"What is your control, master?"
(You can probably write the story yourself from now on.) The soldier learns that if he strikes the box one time, the first dog appears, twice and the 2d domestic dog appears, and three times, the third dog. Gradually he becomes rich once more, and all his friends come back.
One nighttime, he remembers the story of the princess in the locked tower, and longs to meet her. Before he can accept second thoughts, he strikes the tinderbox and sends the dog with optics the size of saucers to bring her to him. The canis familiaris returns with the princess on his back,
"Anyone could see she was a true princess, she was so beautiful. The soldier kissed her. He couldn't help himself - he was a truthful soldier." The ii autumn in love.
The next day, back at home in her belfry, the princess tells her parents all virtually the strange dream she had had, and relates the night'southward adventure. The queen is suspicious, and sets a lady-in-waiting to watch over the princess that night.
Sure enough, the next nighttime, the princess is carried off once more past the canis familiaris, but the lady-in-waiting chalks a cantankerous on the soldier's door, then that she will know the firm where the princess was taken to. Underterred the dog then chalks a cross on every door in town.
But the lady-in-waiting had another cunning program. She filled a small silk bag with flour, attaching information technology to the princess'southward waist. Then she cutting a tiny hole in it, and so that if the princess moved, some flour would trickle out.
The next day the purple couple follow the inevitable trail of flour, and detect out where the princess spends her nights. In this way, the whereabouts of the soldier's fine house are discovered. He is clapped in prison and sentenced to decease.
Notwithstanding, on the 24-hour interval the soldier is due to be executed, he sends a male child to get his tinderbox. Right at the last minute, on the scaffold, he asks to have a last smoke... He and so strikes the tinderbox and the 3 monstrous huge-eyed dogs appear, all together, at once.
"'Assist me now! I don't want to be hanged!' cried the soldier."
All iii dogs pounce on first the rex, and and then the queen, and despite their drastic begging and screams, throw them high into the air, "and so high that when they fall dorsum down they are broken into pieces."
The majestic guards are so frightened that they will be next, that they say that the soldier tin marry the princess, and anybody cheers.
"Then the princess marries the soldier and becomes his queen, which was improve than existence locked up in a copper castle. The wedding ceremony feast lasted for a week, and the dogs at at the table staring virtually them with their dandy glaring eyes."
(I'm not quite sure what the royal couple did to deserve that. Nor the witch come up to that. Nor why "our hero", the murderer, is thought to be and then heroic. Simply such is the stuff of fairytales. Anything goes, every bit long as nosotros take a happy catastrophe.)
The folk tale which Hans Christian Andersen said that he based The Tinderbox on is "The Spirit in the Candle". In it, a soldier acquires a magic candle which has the power to summon an iron man to do his bidding. The soldier uses this candle to visit a princess, and besides to summons the atomic number 26 man to salve his life, when he is sent to the stake for doing then. (hide spoiler)]
When The Tinderbox was first published, it was not favourably received by the Danish critics. They disliked the breezy, chatty style of Hans Christian Andersen's work. I disagree with those critics, as I personally call up his way is role of his amuse. Simply they disliked his lack of morals too, and in this I can concord, specially with stories like this 1. Information technology may have many features of a fairy story, but is certainly not a moral tale or a parable, with such a greedy, selfish, brutish "hero". Information technology is, however, very reminiscent of "The Arabian Nights" with its emphasis on haphazard killings, unpredictable and random events, features such as all the princesses existence beautiful past definition, the magic of threes, the supernatural, "deus ex machina" endings and so on.
Hans Christian Andersen was familiar with folk and fairy lore, and widely read. He volition accept known the tales in "The Arabian Nights". The Tinderbox is specifically quite similar to (view spoiler)["Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp". Both tales feature a supernatural being tempting a mortal to enter an enchanted area on the hope of rich reward. Both tales feature three chambers filled with treasures. Both tales have heroes refusing to part with a something magic that provides light, (Aladdin's lamp, and the tinderbox) and in the finish winning a princess through its use. "The Arabian Nights" also has a story which features doors marked with chalk, in "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves". In other fairy tales there are parallels too. The Tinderbox features a princess who is locked in a tower simply every bit in "Rapunzel". The male monarch and queen take to follow a trail of flour, which mirrors the trail of grain in "Hansel and Gretel". (hide spoiler)]
Possibly it is in this that our love of this tale lies; our satisfaction that this is a "true fairytale" coming together our expectations, and faintly echoing other well-loved tales nosotros have known since our childhood, and our parents' childhoods, and and so on through time immemorial. For I can think of no other reason really why this story should be and then perennially popular.

Encarmine hell, Andersen, are yous okay? And what is wrong with me for existence able to forget for fifty-fifty a 2d how many lives are lost in these tales, how many tears wept and how many body parts lost? This Little Black Classic provides us with half-dozen of Hans Christian Andersen'southward dark fairy tales, making up 1 of in my opinion most beautiful collection of this series (out of those I accept read so far).
I knew most of the tales before, like The Steadfast Tin Soldier (my favourite in this book), The Princess and the Pea and The Nightingale, just I thoroughly enjoyed another encounter with them. Andersen stories are foreign above anything else, only and then many other things besides: Creepy and painful, eery and cute. I beloved them, and this book made me desire to read more of them again, too.
I think this book provides a fine selection of the Danish author's work, and definitely gives a practiced idea of what his writing is like. I go that some people don't notice them suitable for children; the characters are greedy and selfish, make bad decisions and act violently, still I personally enjoyed their enchanting morbidity very much.
In 2015 Penguin introduced the Little Black Classics series to gloat Penguin's 80th birthday. Including little stories from "around the world and across many centuries" as the publisher describes, I have been intrigued to read those for a long time, before finally having started. I hope to sooner or later read and review all of them!

When this results in his imprisonment and imminent execution, he uses his dogs to destroy the rex and queen and their advisors, marrying the princess and becoming king himself...I was struck during the grade of reading
The Tinderbox, as I always am with this story, by how amoral of a tale information technology is. Information technology doesn't have, like Andersen's The Red Shoes , with its narrative of a girl who is punished for her ingratitude and impiety with a terrible bodily disfigurement and violation, a moral outlike with which I would disagree. Rather, it seems entirely lacking in a moral outlook altogether, and the narrative never seems to question the ethics of the soldier's actions, in violating his agreement with the witch, going back on his word to turn over the tinderbox to her, and eventually murdering her. Nor are his actions, in kidnapping the princess, merely so he can look at her sleeping form, ever depicted as problematic. Instead, the reader is manifestly meant to sympathize with his change of fortune and to applaud his use of the dogs, whilst ignoring the fact tht he is a discussion-billow, a murderer, and a pervet of sorts. I've always found this rather odd, and accept never been convinced, despite his one adept quality, of giving generously to the poor, that the soldier is a hero worth cheering for.All that said, this presentation of
The Tinderbox is, despite my usual distaste at the tale, and so phenomenally gorgeous, that I am rating the book at five stars. Vladyslav Yerko's painting are so cute, so marvelously detailed and engrossing, that it was a sheer pleasure to peruse them! From decorative endpaper to decorative endpaper, front to back, this is a visually stunning book. No superlative could do it justice! The detailed indoor scenes, as when the soldier fetches the treasure from its undercover lair, or when he beginning encounters one of the dogs in his room at the inn, have a rich, gold glow, and are crammed with so many piddling objects of involvement, that one could pore over the page endlessly: 
The outdoor scenes are lighter in tone, but no less rich in detail. The scene showing the city center is especially lovely:
I accept no idea, of course, how Vladyslav Yerko views this story - presumably he enjoys information technology, or he would not bother illustrating it! - just the scene in which the canis familiaris servant flies through the air with the princess on his dorsum, resonates with my feeling that the soldier is a bit of a villain. Here'due south the princess, even so enough of a petty daughter to be hugging her stuffed rabbit in her sleep, being ogled by a stranger, and a grown man at that!:
However that may be, there is no question that this is one of the nearly beautiful fairy-tale picture-books I have encountered. A lovely, lovely volume, one I would recommend wholeheartedly to anyone who loves fairy-tales, or who appreciates gorgeously-illustrated books.

I've e'er been a fan of Hans Christian Andersen growing up - my favorites being The Little Mermaid, The Snowfall Queen and yep, even the Tinderbox.Simply honestly, the rest of the stories given here just didn't sit well with me. I liked The Steadfast Can Soldier, it sort of reminded me of The Nutcracker for a bit just withal I call up I liked the melancholy of it. The rest were simply violent and seemingly without any reason or lesson? I don't know. Possibly if I had read them as a younger reader I would've liked them. Who knows.
One tin say these stories are too violent for children - but and then once more I recall all his stories are tearing and extreme. One thing I noticed while re-reading The Tinderbox is how the soldier - the primary character - just gets away with everything? He cuts off the witch'due south head in the get-go without any reason apart from the fact that she didn't tell him why she wants the tinderbox. She simply got yous a ton gold coin, homo. Sheesh. Talk well-nigh anger issues.
And and so later on, the soldier's friends stopped talking to him when he ran out of money so making up when he got rich again. And at the stop, the princess seemed way too chill most her parents beingness flung up in the air and dying when striking the ground, just because she could be queen and do whatever she wants now. LOL. What does this instill in a child?
The version I read of The Tinderbox was from A World of Fairy Tales by James Riordan and that one wasn't this harsh for some reason? It was better written. For example, the part where the soldier'southward friends reject to come visit him in that book was that they gave the alibi that his new (poorer) apartments had besides many stairs. While notwithstanding footling, it shows some semblance of humanity or logic. It was just a much better retelling, I would definitely recommend you check out Riordan'due south version of it.
