A propos de cet article

The Snow Queen (Hans Andersen Fairy Tales series) - Illustrated by John Patience - Peter Haddock Ltd Author: Hans Christian Andersen (Hans Andersen) Illustrator: John Patience Publisher: Peter Haddock Ltd, Bridlington, England ISBN: 0-7105-0750-X Format: Hardcover, pictorial boards Pages: ~32 pp. (full-color throughout) Condition: Like New / Fine Year: Undated (c. late 1980s / early 1990s, printed in India) Detailed Description A beautiful, vibrant edition of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale “The Snow Queen”, part of the popular Hans Andersen Fairy Tales picture book series published by Peter Haddock Ltd. This is a single-story volume featuring the complete, adapted text of one of Andersen’s most beloved and enduring stories, brought to life with stunning, full-page watercolor illustrations by renowned British artist John Patience. Condition: This copy is in Like New / Fine condition. It appears unread or very gently handled. The binding is tight and square with no lean. Boards are clean, bright, and free of rubbing, bumping, or fading. Corners are sharp. Interior pages are crisp, clean, and unmarked with no inscriptions, bookplates, foxing, or tears. Colors remain vivid. A truly collector-quality example that presents as new. About the Story & Illustrations: Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875), the Danish master storyteller, first published “The Snow Queen” in 1844 as part of New Fairy Tales. It follows young Gerda’s courageous quest through enchanted lands to rescue her friend Kay from the icy palace of the Snow Queen after a shard of a magical mirror enters his heart and eye, turning him cold and distant. Themes of love, bravery, friendship, and the triumph of good over evil make it a timeless classic for children and adults alike. John Patience’s illustrations are the highlight—rich, detailed, and atmospheric watercolors that perfectly capture the fairy-tale magic. Expect dramatic scenes of goblin mischief with the shattered mirror, the frozen North, the Snow Queen’s crystalline palace, Gerda’s adventures with the reindeer, flowers, robbers, and the emotional reunion. The endpapers feature charming blue circular vignettes of related fairy tale moments. The cover shows the Snow Queen towering over kneeling Kay in her icy domain. Series Context: This volume is from Peter Haddock’s affordable yet high-quality children’s series, which includes other titles such as The Little Mermaid & The Red Shoes, Thumbelina & The Nightingale, The Ugly Duckling & The Beetle, etc. (listed in full on the rear cover). These books were widely popular in the UK and Commonwealth for their accessible retellings and beautiful artwork. Physical Details: Glossy pictorial hardcover boards with vibrant color illustration. Publisher’s imprint: Peter Haddock Ltd, Bridlington, England. © Rainbow’s End Productions. Printed in India. Ideal for fans of vintage children’s literature, Andersen collectors, John Patience enthusiasts (also known for the Fern Hollow series), or as a special gift for a young reader. This edition’s charming 1980s/90s illustration style evokes nostalgia while remaining fresh and engaging. A wonderful addition to any fairy tale collection.…
