The Steadfast Tin Soldier

I love this haunting fairy tale and the beautiful woodcut illustrations (in this edition) by Robert Quackenbush.
I think about it a lot, especially the moment when his paper boat sails into the dark sewer.

I had read this story as a child and still loved this book and story. This is a classic and will never get old or become a bad story. The thing I really enjoyed most was the plot in this story. The story was written in a classical historical feel. The story did not feel like it was written in the last several decades. I really liked how the story did not include that many illustrations. Usually I would feel opposite about this book but I think because the book was written so long ago that less was more. This left it up to the reader to really imagine the story in their head I did enjoy the 5 illustrations that were included in the book. They were only of several colors and looked to be of pen and paper show more as well, which gave the book an even more authentic historical feel. I would recommend this book to all who are looking for a classic book to read. show less
