The Snow Queen
I've noticed a couple of people's bios saying that among their favorite fairy tales was Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen. Growing up, this was my very favorite fairy tale when I was growing up. I was endlessly sad every time Disney came out with a new adaption to a fairy tale and it wasn't The Snow Queen, because I'm an unrelenting Disney fan too. Or at least, a fan of the old school cartoon movies anyway.
I had a picture book that told fairy tales through the seasons, so it started with the Spring relevant stories, went through Summer fairy tales, on to Autumn fairy tales, and finally to Winter, where my beloved Snow Queen fairy tale was located. I must have read that every other week when I was little. I unfortunately don't know where that picture book ended up, and I've never been able to find it since, but my memory of it is still pretty potent.
Because I thought that everyone should be familiar with The Snow Queen, I took the three seconds on Google to find a copy of it on onlineliterature.com
The Snow Queen, by Hans Christian Anderson
And I was wondering had anyone had seen the three hour movie / mini series that was made of it. It's not the best ever, but there really haven't been any other notable adaptions of the story, that I have seen.
