The snow queen

This tale is about the ability to express compassion and love, to be faithful and selfless. Strong friendship and love help Gerda to save Kay from the captivity of the Snow Queen and melt the shard of a troll's mirror that turns any heart into ice.

“My first tales”  is a collection of HC Andersen's world-famous fairy tales that have been gently retold for our young readers. Each book from this collection is illustrated by an award-winning artist.

Hans Christian Andersen Copenhagen has carefully selected artists for each individual fairy tale, in order to convey the mood of the tale as well as to create magical and memorable characters.

Each book from the “My first tales” collection contains an interesting story about the life of HC Andersen and is accompanied by a short interview with an illustrator.
