Listen "Episode 9: The Tinderbox"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Once Upon a Podcast, we dive into Hans Christian Andersen's first published fairy tale, The Tinderbox. Join us as we break down this bizarre tale of soldiers, witches, giant-eyed dogs, questionable morals, and the surprising lack of actual fire-starting. We explore the literary origins, dark undertones, and some unintended comedy of a fairy tale where the real magic might just be a villain getting away with everything.
