 Met plezier gelezen tijdens de donkere dagen rond kerst. Knusse sfeervolle illustraties en mooie keuze aan winterse verhalen van over de hele wereld. Leuke extra was het kleine stukje achtergrond informatie bij elk begin van een verhaal. Minpuntje, veel verhalen hadden echt wat langer gemogen, meer de diepte in, wat ruimte geven aan de personages, om er wat meer in op te gaan. 

 'Here,' said the Snow Queen, holding open her snow-white cloak. 'Come closer.' Climbing onto herwhite cushioned seat and leaning into her furs felt like sinking into a snowdrift. The Snow Queen kissed Kay's brow once and he was numb. He no longer felt the cold. In fact, he felt nothing at all. The Snow Queen kissed him twice, and he forgot Gerda, he forgot home, he forgot everything.'
