A graphic adaptation of Hans Christian Andersens classic Christmas tale, The Fir Tree, by Lilli Carr, a rising star in the world of comic arts
The Fir Tree by Hans Christian Andersen, published originally in 1845, follows the life of a young fir tree living in the woods. Compared to the other trees, he feels small, spindly, and short, and constantly utters complaint to any and all woodland creatures within ear shot. When humans cut down a beautiful tree nearby, dragging it across the snow, he asks the swallows, Where are they taking him? In answer the swallows tell him of all Christmass splendor and beauty of which that lucky tree will soon be a part. Yet when the time comes for our little fir tree to have his turn, hes taught an unexpected and irreversible lesson.
No one is better suited to adapt this sweet and sorrowful tale than Lilli Carr, creator of The Tales of Woodland Pete and The Lagoon and contributor to This American Life. Her sensibility grafts beautifully over this quirky tale by the great master Hans Christian Andersen, reviving and refreshing a lost classic.
