The Tinderbox
by Charles Way
Based on the story by Hans Christian Andersen
The Tinderbox is an epic journey tale, from rags to riches, though war, political intrigue, the depths of despair to the heights of love and passion. When Jonas, a young soldier, discovers a mysterious tinderbox, he is thrust into a world of riches, danger, and love. Inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen tale, this gripping retelling follows his journey through war, betrayal, and enchantment, featuring unforgettable characters like a clever witch, a powerful king, a radiant opera singer, and a dog with eyes as big as saucers.
