The Snow Queen

The story of The Snow Queen concerns a magic mirror which distorts everything it reflects, and what happens when the mirror gets smashed. Characters include Gerda and Kai, two children who play together in a rooftop garden of roses until one of them is kidnapped and the other must set off on a lifetime of searching. There’s also a mischievous old lady with a garden of talkative flowers, a pair of royal newlyweds, two wicked goblins, a gossipy raven, the disreputable inhabitants of a robbers’ castle, and the mysterious Snow Queen herself in her palace of ice.
