An Indie Next List Notable -- IndieBound "The little match girl's story is now getting its due thanks to novelist Gregory Maguire of 'Wicked' fame... Matchless glows with aching beauty." -- Huntsville Times "Maguire's story has the weight and solidity of a treasured folk tale, something to be handed down and retold." -- Ellen Trachtenberg, author of The Best Children's Literature: A Parent's Guide

When the story was first translated from Danish and published in England in the mid-nineteenth century, the Little Match Girl's dying visions of lights and a grandmother in heaven were often interpreted as metaphors of religious salvation. In "Matchless", Maguire adds a different dimension to the story, intertwining the match girl's tale with that of a young boy, Frederik, whose own yearnings are the catalyst for a better future for himself and his family. Maguire uses his storytelling magic to rekindle Andersen's original intentions, and to suggest transcendence, the permanence of spirit, and the continuity that links the living and the dead.
