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. One of Andersen's best-beloved tales, The Snow Queen is a story about the strength and endurance of childhood friendship. 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.
