This is a story from the Andersen's Fairy Tales collection.
The world of Hans Christian Andersen is seen through the eyes of children. There is the everyday wonder of an ugly duckling being transformed into a swan; the puffed-up Emperor being fooled by his own importance; the tender tragedy of a little match girl; the upright honesty of John rewarded by his traveling companion. By bringing true feelings to these stories, Andersen's tales have become part of universal folklore.

Editorial reviews
Danish folk-master Hans Christian Andersen’s tale mixing the supernatural and Christian virtue is splendidly performed by Erica Johns, whose romantic, lyrical tone, infuses the performance with a positive energy most appropriate for the subject matter. The tale itself, a selection of the Andersen’s Fairy Talescollection, tells of a young boy who heads out into the wide world following the death of his beloved father, and almost immediately spends his entire inheritance. They are good deeds that, thanks to a kindly spirit, eventually will win him true love.
