So begins Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale of a little fir tree yearning for Christmas and adulthood, a fairly tale staple of the holiday season.
Hans Christian Andersen was a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, though to this day he is best remembered for his beloved fairy tales.
