The Tin Soldier, part of Camford’s My Favourite Fairy Tales, is a moving illustrated retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s timeless tale. Meet a brave, one-legged tin soldier who falls in love with a paper ballerina. After being cast out of his toy set by a jealous jack-in-the-box, he faces perilous adventures—adrift in a paper boat, swallowed by a fish, and finally plunged into flames. Throughout, his steadfastness remains unwavering. This edition (~24–32 pages of vivid artwork and simple prose) is perfect for children aged 5–9, teaching lessons of loyalty, courage, and unshakeable love.
