Answer:

Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish writer best known for his fairy tales. However his stories are not restricted to children and it has themes of universal appeal that transcend age and culture.

Andersen did not have the best childhood. In fact, it was very unhappy. Most of his stories reflected sadness dealing with loss and death.

‘The Little Match Girl’ is one such story. Set around the New Year’s Eve, the story tells us of a little girl who, unable to sell his matches, dies of cold and hunger on the street after aimlessly wondering bareheaded and barefooted in the bleak and bitter cold, when the people are celebrating the birth of the Christ and the New Year’s Eve in the comfort of their warm cosy homes.
