Description

The brave tin soldier also called "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about a tin soldier's love for a paper ballerina.

On his birthday, a boy receives a set of 25 toy soldiers all cast from one old tin spoon and arrays them on a table top.

One soldier stands on a single leg, as having been the last one cast there was not enough metal to make him whole.

Nearby, the soldier spies a paper ballerina with a spangle on her sash.

She too is standing on one leg and the soldier falls in love.

That night, a goblin among the toys in the form of a Jack-in-the-box angrily warns the soldier to take his eyes off the ballerina, but the soldier ignores him.

The next day, the soldier falls from a windowsill (presumably the work of the goblin) and lands in the street.

Two boys find the soldier, place him in a paper boat, and set him sailing in the gutter...
