The Little Match Girl

On the last night of December, a little girl huddles in the bitter cold, unable to go home until she has sold her bundle of matches. One by one, she lights the matches to keep warm, and, as each match lights, the girl's cold, grey world dissolves into visions of light and warmth, each more beautiful than the last. Isadora's luminous paintings tell this classic story of a valiant spirit set free at last. Full color.
