An image of a match girl inspired Andersen to write his famous story The Little Match Girl. Andersen’s was also inspired by his own mother. In his autobiography, Andersen says that when his mother was young, she had to ask for money in the streets, and when she didn’t receive anything, she cried under a bridge (Fairy Tale of my Life, 2).
