About this listen

This collection brings together four of Hans Christian Andersen’s thoughtful and imaginative fairy tales, each revealing timeless lessons through everyday characters and objects.

In The Flax, a humble plant experiences pride, loss, and renewal, learning that growth often comes through hardship and transformation. The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep is a tender story of young love and courage, as two fragile figures choose faithfulness and the heart over fear. The Candles reflects on usefulness and gratitude, reminding listeners that even small lights have purpose when they serve others. In The Old Street Lamp, an aging lamp looks back on a life of quiet service, memory, and dignity as the world changes around it.

Together, these four tales emphasize compassion, humility, devotion, and the lasting value of a caring heart. Told in Andersen’s gentle moral style, this audiobook is well suited for family listening and for those who appreciate meaningful classic literature.
