Bookroo's summary

Gerda embarks on a daring quest to rescue her friend, whose heart has been frozen by the Snow Queen's curse. As she journeys through enchanted lands, her kindness wins allies and guides her to the Queen's icy palace. Can Gerda's courage and love thaw his heart and break the spell? This timeless tale, beautifully illustrated, invites readers into a world of magic and bravery, where the power of friendship is the ultimate weapon against darkness.

From the publisher

The story that was the inspiration for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis and more recently, Frozen by Disney is re-designed in celebration of 50 years of working with Bernadette Watts—one of Europe’s most recognized and beloved fairy-tale artists, known in Europe simply as Bernadette.

When a young boy is cursed and unable to detect goodness, a young girl goes on a courageous journey to restore his heart and free him from the palace of the Snow Queen.

Stunning illustrations bring new life to this lasting piece of literature that has thrilled young readers for over a century.
