About the story.

A soldier returning from war meets a woman who offers him an unusual bargain. The errand she proposes leads below the surface of an ordinary road and into possibilities that make his former circumstances seem suddenly very small.

These selected Andersen tales turn simple wants into adventures with exacting rules. A useful object, a chance meeting, or an ambition to be somewhere else can open a much stranger story.
