About the book
Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen tells of Gerda's search for her friend Kay after fragments of a devilish mirror enter his eye and heart, distorting his view of the world. When the Snow Queen carries him away, Gerda begins a journey through enchanted gardens, royal households and a robber's camp towards the frozen north. Her encounters test her courage and reveal the kindness that can exist in unlikely places. One of Andersen's best-known fairy tales, the story combines winter magic and perilous adventure with a moving account of friendship, innocence and steadfast love. Its struggle between cold reason and human compassion has made it an enduring classic of children's literature.
