The tale follows two children, Gerda and Kai, who become close friends. Kai is enchanted by a magical mirror made by a troll, which distorts reality and causes a shard to lodge in his eye and heart, making him cold and cruel. The Snow Queen takes Kai to her icy palace, and Gerda embarks on a perilous journey to rescue him, encountering helpers and overcoming obstacles.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Helge Ernst (1916 - 1991) was a Danish painter, graphic artist, printmaker, designer, and filmmaker whose career spanned painting, engraving, design, and experimental film.

I have been selling rare books for over 12 year and have a 100% customer satisfaction rating on all venues from which I sell. I am a collector first and know what it's like to receive items not matching the seller's descriptions or that were poorly packaged and damaged in transit. That is why I offer a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee. I go to great lengths to accurately describe my rare, signed and collectible books and post pictures of the "actual book." I carefully package and ship your newly acquired treasure(s) and generally ship within one business day of receiving your order. Please send me an email if you would like additional pictures of a book or have any questions. Kind Regards, Ryan…
