The Steadfast Tin Soldier in Many Languages

From Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, we invite you to follow the journey of the steadfast tin soldier.

Artists from around the world read his story in their own languages – Spanish, French, Danish, Catalan, Portuguese, Italian, English, Chinese, and more – letting Andersen’s timeless tale travel across borders, voices, and cultures.

This project celebrates the magic of storytelling, the beauty of language, and the way a simple story can connect people everywhere.
