About the book
Upon its initial translation from Danish and release in England during the mid-1800s, it is probable that viewers saw the Little Match Girl's final visions of light and a heavenly grandmother as representations of religious redemption. Maguire's latest creation, "Matchless," sheds new light on Andersen's timeless tale, utilizing his narrative prowess to revive the author's initial motives and to propose notions of surpassing existence, the endurance of the soul, and the connection that unites the living and the departed.
