Few winter stories are more affecting than Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl. Written in 1848, and strictly speaking a New Year's Eve story, it showed so clearly then, as it does now, that the Christmas holidays do not represent fireside, food, and presents for all. This story never fails to move, yet it somehow avoids serious sentimentality.

La petite Sirène habite sous la mer, dans le château de son père. Depuis sa plus tendre enfance, son rêve est de se rendre là-haut, au pays des hommes. Mais, pour cela, il lui faut attendre sa quinzième année. Enfin, le jour tant attendu arrive. "Lorsque sa tête apparut à la surface de la mer, le soleil venait de se coucher ; mais les nuages brillaient encore comme des roses et de l'or, et l'étoile du soir étincelait au milieu du ciel. L'air était doux et frais, la mer paisible. Près de la petite sirène se trouvait un navire à trois mâts ; il n'avait qu'une voile dehors, à cause du calme, et les matelots étaient assis sur les vergues et sur les cordages.
