The Steadfast Tin Soldier

The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen have been translated into all languages and have gone through numerous editions. Their characters have become indispensable companions of any childhood. 
The tin soldier from Andersen's eponymous tale has become a symbol of courage... and steadfastness. Whatever surprises fate prepared for him, he held on steadfastly: rifle on his shoulder, head up, chest out! And he emerged from all trials with honor. 
The Petersburg artist Anton Lomayev gives the fairy tales of Andersen the top place among the books he loved in childhood. He illustrates the stories of the great storyteller with inspiration and inexhaustible imagination. On the pages of this book, not only a multitude of amusing toys live their special lives, but also a whole charming family, whose fairy-tale daily life is so interesting to observe.
