It was fun to read this after having seen Frozen dozens of times and see how Disney adapted the story and which characters were recognizable.
I read this for my Intro to Fairy Tale class last semester and it was my favorite tale out of the ones we read.

A lovely short story. Not what I expected, because the Snow Queen herself barely plays a part in the story. All the adaptations have clearly created her, this story shows not much more than the idea of her.
After listening to a Myth and Legends' and Disney Origins' podcasts, both tackling this story, I had to read it, even though I already knew everything about it from the two podcasts.
It's weird how "Frozen" is labeled is being adapted or whatever from this story, because other than Snow being an important part of the story, THEY HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON! Disney's Frozen and Hanz's Snow Queen are very different stories.
Now onto this story, it's my first full-length story I've read by the guy (surprise!) and I found it fun and entertaining but it didn't blow me away, maybe because I've already heard it two times before reading? maybe. It was fun, just don't read it with Frozen in mind.

It's a quick little book aimed at younger readers.
This I got from a sale, and I got it because it is supposed to be the inspiration for The Chronicles of Narnia. It's written in an older English so comes across whimsical. It also has references to Christianity in the story buy its not Christian focused.
Does give a good, child-friendly alternative as to why people see things in a bad way and what happens if you let your heart forget what kindness is.
