The Steadfast Tin Soldier

The story is about a tin soldier, who from his very birth turns out to be “not like everyone else” all tin soldiers are on two legs, but this one is one-legged and at the same time, of course, the most steadfast of all.
Our soldier falls in love with a paper ballerina, but the forces of evil are going to prevent this high, beautiful love.

The illustrations in this book will instantly immerse the children in the world of a fairy tale and will carry them along on a journey on a paper boat with the steadfast tin soldier.
