The Steadfast Tin Soldier is the first story Andersen wrote without
a folktale source or literary model, so it stands as a completely
original work of the imagination, which changed the fairytale genre
for all time. "There were once five-and-twenty tin soldiers. They
were all brothers, born of the same old tin spoon...All looked
exactly alike except one. He looked a little different as he had
been cast last of all. The tin was short, so he had only one
leg...But just you see, he'll be the remarkable one." So begins
Andersen's classic tale of good and evil; purity and personality;
fate and grace. In this boldly-illustrated contemporary retelling,
Yoon takes on the harshness and poignancy of the story, leaving
readers with the sense that nothing is ever lost-it just changes
shape and continues anew. JooHee Yoon is an illustrator and
printmaker committed to the art of bookmaking. She enjoys combining
illustration with design and using both traditional and industrial
printing techniques. Rather than a single approach, she tries to
match the tone of each project. She strives to create picture books
that work on many levels and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
