Read in August, 2011

** spoiler alert ** A retelling of Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Match Girl, this is a bittersweet story about Frederick, his mother, a little girl who sells matches and how their lives intersect. All three of them are poorer than the might ought to be, though Frederick, at least, is happy, not realizing that perhaps there is more to the world than the little fairy world he's created in his bedroom.
