Naomi Lewis

A classic translation of one of the world's greatest fairy tales lavishily illustrated with a sumptuous, wintry feel.

The Snow Queen

TRADITIONAL STORIES (CHILDREN'S / TEENAGE). When Kay is cursed by a magic mirror, he can no longer perceive goodness in anything - not his best friend Gerda, nor the roses in the garden. One wintery evening, he is kidnapped by the wicked Snow Queen and swept away to live for ever in her kingdom of ice. Gerda must travel through inhospitable and frozen lands, sustained only by the kindness of strangers, in order to find her beloved friend. And when she gets there, how will she melt the ice in his heart? Nearly two centuries after its first publication, The Snow Queen endures as a tale of love and loss, good and evil, and loyalty in the face of great hardships. Ages 14+

I knew going into this that it was nothing at all like Frozen because I knew they had very loosely based the movie on this story, but I was still kind of disappointed.

Hans Christian Andersen's magical tale of friendship and adventure is retold through the beautiful and intricate illustrations of Finnish illustrator Sanna Annukka. Cloth-bound in deep blue, with silver foil embellishments, The Snow Queen is a unique work of art. Sanna Annukka is familiar to many from her collaborations with Marimekko and her artwork for Keane's album, Under the Iron Sea. For her second book project, she illustrates Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale, The Snow Queen. A beautiful gift to give and receive.

A magical journey following Gerda as she goes to rescue her friend Kay. On the way she meets unlikely allies.

Such a lovely tale for winter. I love the message of love conquering all.

Tbh I just read this to finish my popsugar challenge before the end of the year. It was fine. Very simple and basic descriptions, but unmemorable.

That is some weird stuff, man (says the girl who devours Murakami).

I loved this book, at first when I heard that Frozen was based on this book I thought I must read it, and then Audible gave their members a free copy. 
I can see where there are similarities to Frozen but it is a wonderful story of its own. The little boy who follows the Snow Queens sled is saved by the little girl and the power of prayer. 
This is an amazing story that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside after reading it. Everyone should give this book a try.

Lorsque le miroir déformant du diable se brise, des milliers d'éclats se répandent sur la Terre. Quiconque en reçoit un dans l'oeil se met à voir tout en noir, et s'il se fiche dans le coeur, celui-ci se change en bloc de glace, attirant la Reine des Neiges. C'est ce qui arrive au petit Kay, enlevé par la froide souveraine et retenu prisonnier dans son palais. Mais son amie Gerda part à sa recherche, rencontrant en chemin magiciens, brigands et princesses. Ce recueil rassemble cinq contes parmi les plus célèbres d'Andersen : La Reine des Neiges, La Petite Poucette, La Cloche, Les Fleurs de la petite Ida et Les Cygnes sauvages, qui entraînent le lecteur dans un univers enchanté qui n'a pas pris une ride.
