Kay is then carried off by the beautiful but cruel Snow Queen, to her frozen palace and Gerda sets off to rescue him. With wonderfully atmospheric illustrations that can truly make you shiver, or warm you to the heart, this tale of true friendship is ideal for winter?s night reading - read together 4+, read alone 8+.
