Snowy tales

When recalling winter tales, it is impossible to overlook the Snow Queen. This classic fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen has already seen countless adaptations. This shows the incredible potential of a story about two children. Kaj and Gerda led a peaceful life until a shard of a magic mirror got stuck in the boy's eye. Since then, the boy has changed beyond recognition. From a kind and helpful child, he suddenly became a mischievous and wayward young man. The fairy tale has lived to see many versions. The title Snow Queen is presented both as an unscrupulous witch and an unhappy woman who seeks her own way to happiness. However, the invariable constant is the magical winter landscape. The white patches of snow and icicles glistening in the sunlight have an incredible effect on the imagination and make your heart yearn for the cold season. It is hard not to mention the Oscar-winning Iceberg, which has been breaking popularity records in recent years and its hit songs are still hummed by the youngest. The story of two sisters, one of whom has the power to wield ice, steals the hearts not only of children, but also of slightly older viewers. If there is no snow outside your window, a great way to revive the winter spirit is to escape into the world of frosty tales.
