Very lovely. Mystical, hopeful, and full of beautiful language. Perfect for the Christmas season!

I think this is a good short story. With very nice illustrations that really bring the story to life.

He leído este cuentito en LC con una bruji del Aquelarre, y me ha encantado compartir impresiones con ella y comparar nuestras ediciones después: los extras que vienen y las ilustraciones.

Es un cuento que no te habla realmente de la Reina de las Nieves, si no más bien, de las aventuras que, en mi caso, vive Margarita (luego vimos que no siempre nombran a los niños igual xD). Ella navega un río, se adentra en el bosque, y todo le parece poco para conseguir dar con Carlitos, su mejor amigo de la infancia que desaparece un día misteriosamente.

Hubieron personajes que me resultaron inquietantes, otros demasiados rudos para un cuento de niños...y otros, como los animales, muy entrañables. Pero sí que me hubiera gustado ver algo más de la Reina de las Nieves, o conocer más de ella.

Eso sí, la edición me ha parecido bellísima, muy cuidada, con un montón de cuentos más y con ilustraciones de ensueño.

I can see where they used parts of this for Frozen. Sweet story.

I decided to read this because the story is the inspiration for a bunch of other books I have read, am reading, intend to read. I am not a huge fan of Hans Christian Andersen - love the stories, just more likely to enjoy the versions written by others. This story has several lovely pieces which don't really fit together well. However, the Snow Queen herself is almost archetypal at this point. And may we all find at least one friend as steadfast as Gerda!
