«La petite fille aux allumettes» is the children's story by Hans Christian Andersen, published by Gallimard Jeunesse in paperback (44 pages, in French).
On New Year's Eve, a destitute girl tries to sell matches on the street while passers-by walk on; to keep warm she lights them one by one, and each flame shows her fleeting visions of warmth, food and affection. It is a classic tale about poverty and the comfort of hope.

Aimed at early readers aged 8 to 10, especially children starting French and fans of classic illustrated tales.
