β¦ Synopsis
SUMMARY:
Every year, NPR asks a writer to compose an original story with a Christmas theme. In 2008, Gregory Maguire reinvented the Hans Christian Andersen classic "The Little Match Girl" for a new time and new audiences. When it was first translated from Danish and published in England in the mid-nineteenth century, audiences likely interpreted the Little Match Girlβ²s dying visions of lights and a grandmother in heaven as metaphors of religious salvation. Maguireβ²s new piece, entitled "Matchless," reilluminates Andersenβ²s classic, using his storytelling magic to rekindle Andersenβ²s original intentions, and to suggest transcendence, the permanence of spirit, and the continuity that links the living and the dead.
