The Snow Queen is the most magical and profound of all Hans Andersen\'s fairy tales.
Ideal to read aloud or for older readers to enjoy discovering by themselves..
None of the original magic has been lost in this joyful new edition.
Originally the son of a poor shoemaker, the secret of Andersen\'s success is that he wrote his stories as if he were telling them to a child.
This is a sparkling re-telling of the famous classic from the pen of Hans Christian Andersen.
The lively, vivid text has been illustrated by Sally Holmes with all the loving, detailed attention it deserves.
The Snow Queen is a Story to read again and again, and to remember for ever.
She makes friends with flowers and birds, and with the bold robber girl who lends her a reindeer to take her to the Snow Queen\'s palace.
On her way she encounters many dangers, but she never forgets Kay.
When Kay\'s heart turns to ice and he falls under the spell of the beautiful Snow Queen, little Gerda leaves home to search for him.
It is a quest full of mystery, humour and adventure, and its uplifting theme is the power of innocence and enduring love.
