The Snow Queen, Hardcover/Hans Christian Andersen

Reprinted here for the first time since the 19th century, these color illustrations by T. Pym make the classic Andersen fairy tale even more magical.

Gerda's search for her playmate Kay-who was abducted by the Snow Queen and taken to her frozen palace-is brought to life in delicate and evocative illustrations. About the Author: Hans Christian Andersen (1805--75) was a Danish poet, novelist, and writer of fairy tales. T. Pym is the pseudonym of 19th-century illustrator Clara Creed.
