Story Cove - A Safe Place to Read Stories for Kids Story Nory - free audiobooks for kids The Tin-soldier trembled; but he remained steadfast, showed no emotion, looked straight in front of him, shouldering his gun. This touching story by Hans Christian Anderson relates how a brave tin soldier keeps a stiff upper lip throughout his adventures. He is treated unfairly but never complains, and always remains true to the toy ballerina with whom he has fallen in love.
