A beloved Christmas fairytale from Hans Christian Andersen about a one-legged tin soldier, who falls in love with a proud ballerina for the same nursery. When he encounters many trials and tribulations, he remains steadfast in his love until the very end. A lovely tale that celebrates the value of loyalty and steadfastness. An episode from Journey with Story, a storytelling podcast for kids ages 6-10. (duration-20 minutes) NOTE - this story has a sad ending, so might not be suitable for very young children.
