Hans Christian Andersen wrote about a 'Steadfast...' what?

Sounds like a sad tale.

Player #773249, It is. I had a book of his stories as a child and loved them. Quite a few were a bit sad.

Historically, a lot of fairy tales have been grim.

Being German, I remember our parents telling us to be the "tapfere Zinnsoldat" ("steadfast tin soldier") whenever we had to grin and bear it.

Player Elf Counsel, I still have my brothers grim and Anderson books! my oldest book is 106 years old, they're one of very few possessions I care about.

I like the 1967 Small Faces song named "Tin Soldier" they based on Hans Christensen's story . Steve Marriott was feeling like the broken discarded tin soldier and was thinking his crush Jenny Rylance was like the beautiful paper ballerina that was unattainable.

"Steadfast Iron Maiden" sounds cooler (or at least like better music).

Hans Christian Andersen I wrote his name wrong in my comment.

Player #4250921, Hence Grimm's Fairy Tales. 😊

ChewyGazelle68623, Chewy Gazelle why must you share that? If we don't hear from you does that mean we should assume you have got all the rest wrong?

Player #773249, I got it right!!
