With so much Frozen craziness going on in our house and so many others over the past number of years, when I noticed this lovely old book of Hans Christian Andersen Fairytales on the shelf the other day, I realised that I had never read the story of 'The Snow Queen' on which the whole franchise is based.
So I did.
It's a wonderful tale of what we are willing to do for love and friendship but also explores the ideas of nature and feeling juxtaposed against thought and logic.
It's obviously a well told tale but as so many of the stories we know have their footings in it, I'd highly recommend it if you have it handy.
There's even a talking reindeer (just perhaps not called Sven 😉).
