| Description: |
Cynthia Rylant brings her beautiful and thoughtful writing to a new version of the classic Hans Christen Andersen fairytale about a tin soldier who falls in love with a ballerina. |
| Synopsis: |
As in the original, the tin soldier's love for the beautiful ballerina is thwarted by a troll, he is separated from the other toys, washed down a storm drain, encounters a rat, gets swallowed by a fish, and manages to end up back home. Unlike in the original, however, the tin soldier is spit, white hot, out of the fire and into the arms of the dancer, thus melding the two together so they'll never be apart. |
