Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen

Fairy Tales take me back to a time of wonderment and fantasy. I love to learn about far away places and people. None seem as far as the great white North. This tale depicts one of the most elegant of characters who lives in a great palace in the Northern reaches of the Earth. Throughout this story, you wonder if the Snow Queen is good or evil. In the end, we find out her true motive for whisking the young Kai away to her palace. In this tale, the Snow Queen is described as cold as ice, dressed elegantly in her snowy white gown. Hans Christian Andersen was a wonderful weaver of fairy tales. He has a true gift of transporting you into a world of imagination. The Snow Queen takes you into the voyage of Gerda as she tries to save her best friend. Along the way, she meets many perils, but with the help of a reindeer and a Laplander she is able to make her way to the palace gates. I hope this story inspires you and transports you back to that wonderment of childhood.
