If the children's book of the nineteen-fifties was essentially made of images, today that has become the exception. These contemporary sketches for Andersen's tale offer a way of rediscovering a great classic for present generations.

“Her little hands were blue with cold. How good a little match would do her! She struck one. It was a hot, clear flame like a small candle, which she surrounded with her hand.”

A poetic support to put into hands of every size, in order to talk about exclusion, precariousness and the rights of the child.
