Book Review – The Snow Queen

Synopsis: Hans Christian Andersen’s magical tale of friendship and adventure is retold through the beautiful and intricate illustrations of Finnish illustrator Sanna Annukka. Cloth-bound in deep blue, with silver foil embellishments, The Snow Queen is elevated from a children’s book to a unique work of art. It is an ideal gift for people of all ages.

Rating:

This version of The Snow Queen is goregous. As soon as I saw the cover, I fell in love. It’s a true work of art, rather than just a fairy tale. The illustrations are gorgeous and unique, and I love the art style. Many of you are probably familiar with the fairy tale itself, which is broken up into seven smaller stories. It is an easy and enjoyable read, and I think this book is great for all ages because adults will appreciate the detailed illustrations, and children will enjoy looking at the pretty pictures while reading (or being read) the story.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review, however all opinions are my own.
