The Steadfast Tin Soldier – Classics Illustrated Junior # 514

Hans Christian Anderson

One of Hans Christian Andersen’s most romantic tales, The Steadfast Tin Soldier tells the story of a one-legged, brave, tin soldier who suffers a terrible fate, all for the love of a beautiful dancing doll. Plagued by a jealous Jack-in-the-Box, the toy solider is sent flying out the window to the street below, where an adventure carries him even further from his love. Throughout his ordeal, the soldier remains steadfast on his one leg, ever true to his beloved little dancer.
