On the street, among the new and beautiful houses, there is one dilapidated Old House - a lonely old man lives out his days in it, sorting through memories of the past. And in the house opposite, a little boy, watching him from the window, decides to brighten up his loneliness and gives him a tin soldier. This is how a tender friendship begins between old and young... Andersen’s fairy tale teaches us to be more merciful and kinder to people - after all, simple human attention, compassion and care are often more valuable than the most expensive gifts.
The book is illustrated with lyrical drawings by Maria Spekhova.
