A TIMELESS ROMANCE!
An American toy soldier known as Private James falls deep into the pits of hate and madness for the sake of a beautiful ballerina and his own dream of a better world. Despite the absence of one leg, James stands against despair, even when there is no hope left. But how can a simple toy soldier make a difference? Is love stronger than ancient evil?
Hans Christian Andersen's classic "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" gets a Americanized reimagining in this tale written by T.K. Wade and beautifully illustrated by Chris Buffaloe.
A very dark and intense "children's" book. It does warn of the dangers of the real world, as a fairy tale. Jim Henson would approve.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love how dark it is! I'd really let children read it! I think boys would like it more though.
