Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Hans Christian Andersen (/ˈhɑːnz ˈkrɪstʃən ˈændərsən/; Danish: [hanˀs kʰʁæsd̥jan ˈɑnɐsn̩] ( listen); often referred to in Scandinavia as H. C. Andersen; 2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories, called eventyr in Danish or "fairy-tales" in English, express themes that transcend age and nationality.

Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", and many more.

His stories have inspired ballets, both animated and live-action films, and plays.

    I really enjoy this edition of The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson. It is a fairy tale type story and can be slightly scary at times. I believe it is an allegorical tale about the struggle between good and evil.

    I suggest reading / listening to the story by one’s self before reading it to a small child. Keeping in mind this story is translated, I located an audiobook edition narrated by Katherine Kellgren. The translation is slightly different and the narrator has a lovely voice. I read and listened and enjoyed this product very much.

    Thank You….

    This "Snow Queen" book is a concise edited version with fabulous drawings that illustrate the adventures of Gerda as she searches for her friend Kai. I was compelled to reread "Snow Queen" after seeing Disney's "Frozen" and this was the perfect edition for me. It's actually subtitled "A Retelling" of the Hans Christian Andersen tale because it's condensed from the original. Despite its brevity, it captures all the main elements of the classic story. The best feature of this handsome hardcover is the colorful and imaginative illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline: the wicked troll whose mirror blinds Kai and freezes his heart; the old woman, the crow, the prince and princess, and the robber girl who help Gerda in her quest; the northern lights that guide the way to the Snow Queen; and the Snow Queen herself. The book is aimed at kids ages 4-8 but I don't see why anyone of any age couldn't enjoy it. I'm middle-aged and it's a lovely addition to my book collection.

    She always wanted to know the origin of the "Frozen" story, so I told her it was based on this book, but I couldn't find something that was on her level until I found this book - it says ages 4-8 but she likes it and read it immediately!

    After I watched the you tube video displaying this pop-up book I had to order it! While Matthew Rhinehart and Robert Sabuda have been getting the most attention and praise for their pop-up designs, especially their pop-up encyclopedia series, they seem to have a close rival with the russian sounding name," Yevgeniya Yeretskaya! Her new pop-up version of THE SNOW QUEEN by Hans Christian Anderson, has stunning ink line drawn pop-up pictures painted with delicate looking watercolours that depict the abduction of young boy Kai by the cold, lovely Snow Queen! I received this order after I had gotten the order for the russian animated The Snow Queen - Golden Antelope - Bench - Cyclist - Fence (DVD NTSC) in russian with english subtiles! Like this pop-up book that film is faithful to Anderson's original text as he described the adventures of Young Gerda as she searched the world for her best friend Kai and found him at last in the Snow Queen's palace! Each pop-up illustration has a light amount of sparkle glued near the outlines of the figures to give a pretty glistening effect that feels approprite to a story that has a winter theme. The whole book has a Christmas greeting card effect! The 2 pop-ups, the Snow Queen and Kai in her sled pulled by white horses and the Snow Queen's ice palace where Gerda has found Kai at last both stand out in this lovely book! I highly recommend both this book and the russian animated THE SNOW QUEEN that has been restored by "Films by Jove" Read my review of THE SNOW QUEEN animated film on amazon.com!

    The pop-ups and illustrations are fantastic fairy-tale artwork. To check it out further you can look for a video online of this version. The pop-up execution is really detailed. If you are a fan of the story, you must know this is abridged, and quite so. It is fabulous for a pop-up collection, or a Snow Queen fan, but not without the full story in a separate book. The biggest disappointment is that this book did not have a pop-up for the last scene (just words). It would have been wonderful to portray the happy ending in full color and dimension.

    For those with tender children: the original scene with the robber-girl (with the knife and all) is either left out or altered till it is not all that scary, if at all. One of the pop-ups (this first one if I remember correctly) is of a scary-looking goblin and he is all over the page in his scariness. (Search for the video if this is a concern).

    This has been on my WishList forever, and I finally got it for myself as a late Christmas present this year. This book is BEAUTIFUL. it seems like every page has a surprise, and I love that they included the entire original fairytale. I am a grown-up who is reluctantly sharing this with my young nieces who are just as enchanted by it as I am. The pop-ups work well- a few need coaxing to fully display, but I don't mind that. Happy I treated myself to this lovely volume.

    This is an amazingly beautiful book. The intricate popups make it one of the prettiest popup books we own. My granddaughter loved the story. Parts of the story are hidden within the popups in the book so you have to watch for them. I'm amazed at the beauty of these popups and the wonderful artwork that goes into making them. But, like I said, it's not just the artwork that makes this book special - the story is one of childhood friendship that grows into love. Beautiful. My copy was split on the back cover near the spine - it was like this because they shipped it in a soft mailing envelope and the pressure of being crushed in shipping caused the spine to crack. Since it was only a few days before Christmas with no hope of replacing it - I used an acid free, flexible glue and repaired it. You can't see where the split was - so my granddaughter never knew.
