    If you're in Dublin I recommend heading into town and hitting all the bookshops you can until you find it. Head for Dawson St. and try Waterstones, Hodges & Figgis and Easons, one of them is bound to have it. If you're not in Dublin, I've no suggestions, sorry.

    Does it come just by itself? I've only ever seen it as part of a compendium of his stories because it's so short.

    You're best bet is going to be the Children's sections of the the big bookshops in wherever your nearest town is.

    A quick search on Easons website returns something which suggests they could have it. I think I have seen it but as a young readers book. Maybe a call to your local bookshops might help?

    I have "The complete Hans Christian Anderson" at home. I don't think they do separate books anymore.

    I'm sorry to be posting offtopic, but is anyone aware of the Hans Christian Andersen film that was on RTE a few months ago? It seemed to be the biographical representation of the author, a pretty modern film from the 1990s I would have thought. Any ideas?
