Summary

The Fir-Tree is a literary fairy tale by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875).

The tale is about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment.

This short story was first published in 1844. It is a heartwarming tale about appreciating the good around you rather than always looking forward to "better times."

PLEASE NOTE: when you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
