Hans Christian Andersen is one of the best-known and most popular authors of fairy tales. His fairy tales of the Princess and the Pea, the Ugly Duckling, the Tinderbox, the Little Mermaid and the Snow Queen have found a place in the hearts of children and adults alike. They have also been frequently reworked in the theatre and in film. The Snow Queen is a jewel of this genre not only owing to Andersen’s masterly narration, but also because of the message encoded within it. Kaj is struck in the eye by a shard from the Snow Queen’s mirror and his view of the world is transformed. The Snow Queen takes him away to her kingdom, but his loyal friend Gerda is determined to seek him out. She must overcome many an obstacle on her way to Kaj, but her good heart and the desire to see her faithful friend Kaj give her great strength. In the end, she frees Kaj from the power of the Snow Queen. Hans Christian Andersen, a famous author who suffered and struggled on the road to success and recognition, still wins the hearts of big and small readers the world over.
