Editorial Review: Product Description: After the Snow Queen kidnaps her friend Kai, Gerda embarks on a perilous and magical journey to search for him. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Snow Queen by H. C. AndersenNote: The version of The Snow Queen that I am reviewing is from an early 1900's book of Andersen's Fairy Tales that I have - thus, the "original" version. The Snow Queen, a fairy tale by celebrated children's writer Hans Christian Andersen, is a light, somewhat interesting make-believe story. This work, like most of Andersen's other pieces, brings magical happenings into "real life" and is not set in a mystical land. The story begins with the account ... Read More Rating:  - ICY TALE THAT WARMS THE HEARTThe Snow Queen is a charming fairy tale, written by Hans Christian Andersen. It is full of Friendship and Love, as Gerda journeys to cold Finland in search of her best friend, Kay, who has been captured by the evil Snow Queen.

The adventure begins when the Snow Queen abducts Kay and Gerda travels throughout Europe trying to find him meeting many people and facing many hardships along the way. I enjoyed The Snow Queen because it has a biblical theme: perfect love overcomes fear (I John 4:18). I also like it because it has a happy ending. Rating: - ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST MEMORABLE FAIRY TALES"The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen is one of the world's most memorable fairy tales. Gerda's journey to find her lost friend and her visit to the ice palace of the Snow Queen capture a child's imagiantion as few tales do. Creatively dramatic illustrations make this a valuable addition to the annals of children's literature. Browse for similar items by category:
