About the book
A wicked sprite makes a mirror that shows everything good as ugly, and it shatters into splinters that fly over the world. One lodges in the eye and heart of a boy named Kay, and the Snow Queen carries him off to her palace of ice. His friend Gerda sets out alone to find him, past a witch's garden, a prince and princess, a robber girl and a reindeer. Hans Christian Andersen's longest tale, in seven stories, appeared in 1844.
Translated from the Danish; the translator was not named.
