• THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL—Also known as the poor, naked head and bare feet Little Match-Seller, written 1846 – she lit matches and saw through walls, and envisioned herself surrounded by the goodness inside, but the next morning in the dawn of morning there lay the poor little one, with pale cheeks and smiling mouth, leaning against the wall; she had been frozen to death on the last evening of the year; and the New-year’s sun rose and shone upon a little corpse! The child still sat, in the stiffness of death, holding the matches in her hand, one bundle of which was burnt. “She tried to warm herself,” said some. No one imagined what beautiful things she had seen, nor into what glory she had entered with her grandmother, on New-year’s day.
• THE FLYING TRUNK- The Flying Trunk was written in 1838, son inherits father’s wealth, blows through it, down and out, friends desert him, but one person gives him a trunk with the message “pack up” – he flies on to become a merchant with a wife, and then goes back to the trunk in the forest, which disappears in a burst of fireworks, and he’s stuck unable to return home to his new life.
• THUMBELINA- Also known as Ichilina and Little Tiny, written 1835, she was called ugly, but then received a gift of wings.
• THE TINDER BOX- Story about a soldier who acquires a magic tinderbox capable of summoning three powerful dogs to do his bidding. When the soldier has one of the dogs transport a sleeping princess to his room, he is sentenced to death but cunningly summons the dogs to save his life.
• THE SHEPHERDESS AND THE CHIMNEY SWEEP- The tale follows the romance between a china shepherdess and a china chimney sweep who are threatened by a carved mahogany satyr who wants the shepherdess for his wife. The tale was first published in April 1845 by C.A. Reitzel in Copenhagen, Denmark.
• WILLY WINKY—Before the days of the wireless, television and the Internet great reliance was put upon the Town Crier to pass on the latest news and information. 'Wee Willie Winkie' was the children's version of the Town Crier! The author of the poem was William Miller (1810 - 1872) and the first publication date of the words to Wee Willie Winkie was in 1841. Now these are the original versions of the stories, not the Disney version. You will note lately the original versions are coming out in truer form such as the movie “Into the Woods”. A Lot of these tales were actually scary and meant that way to deter children from certain behaviour.
• NUMBSKULL JACK—Better known as Jack the Dullard written in 1855, two geniuses prepared themselves a full week for the wooing—this was the longest time that could be granted them; but it was enough, for they had had much preparatory information, and everybody knows how useful that is. Jack ends up being King, although he was not considered a genius and was considered a numbskull and very dull.
• THE UGLY DUCKLING—The story tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from the others around him until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others), he matures into a beautiful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. The story is beloved around the world as a tale about personal transformation for the better. “The Ugly Duckling” was first published 11 November 1843, with three other tales by Andersen in Copenhagen, Denmark to great critical acclaim. The tale has been adapted to various media including opera, musical, and animated film. The tale is completely Andersen's invention and owes no debt to fairy tales or folklore.
