WINTER KING, SUMMER QUEEN Mary Lister & Diana Mayo
King Icicle and his gloomy companions like nothing more than sending storms down to Earth, and relish the crackle of lightning and the crash of thunder. In contrast, Queen Goldenlight and her friends delight in warmth and light, and spend their days happily singing and dancing. Determined to free the Earth from the ravages of snow and ice, Queen Goldenlight finds a unique way of overcoming her cold opponent. Enter the Land of Icy Darkness and the Land of the Flaming Sun and discover how their people learn to share the Earth, existing in harmony.
