review:
'The Snow Queen' by Hans Christian Anderson is a re-release with beautiful pictures by Sanna Annukka and translated by Jean Hersholt. The illustrations are beautiful, as is the story, although it is dark.
Supposedly the movie "Frozen" is based on this book, but you'd be hard pressed to see much comparison at all. What you have instead are a series of seven linked stories. There is an evil broken mirror that sends glass splinters into hearts. It's also the story of Kay and Gerda. Kay who is taken away the Snow Queen and Gerda who never gives up looking for him.
Throughout the books are beautiful drawings by Sanna Annukka, whose work is made up of geometric shapes and bright colors. The visuals make this a book you would want to leave out and show off. The story is a classic, just don't expect a Disney version of things.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Ten Speed Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
