“The Tinder Box” By Hans Christian Anderson Review

A soldier is marching home from war when he meets a witch who says, “What a fine sword you have, and what a big knapsack! Now I’ll show you how to fill your knapsack with as much money as you want.” Fortune is fleeting for the soldier until he learns the secret of the witch’s tinderbox and her three peculiar dogs, each with eyes bigger than the last. With each strike of the flint, a dog appears to grant him his wish, and the soldier doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of this gift – at a high cost to the kingdom.

This one was really not for me. Maybe reading children stories as an adult isn’t the best thing to do for some people.

I personally found this story to be very boring and uninteresting. I really had hard time reading it because I just couldn’t get into the story.

The story is pretty quick read, but that’s the only good thing about this story for me personally.

The writing style in this one was very generic which every fairytale has.

I Give This Book 1 / 5
