La reina de las nieves (LITERATURA INFANTIL - Libros-Regalo)

by Hans Christian Andersen, Óscar T. Pérez (Illustrator), Enrique Bernárdez Sanchís (Translator)

Gerda y Kay son muy amigos, se quieren como hermanos. Son vecinos y lo pasan muy bien jugando juntos. Un día de invierno, mientras los copos de nieve forman figuras al caer sobre el cristal de la ventana, la abuela de Kay les habla de la reina de las nieves, hermosa y blanca. Esa misma noche, mientras Kay observaba cómo cae la nieve, un copo grande se posa en la ventana y se convierte en la reina de las nieves. Desde entonces Kay no vuelve a ser el mismo, hasta que un día desaparece en un trineo conducido por la misma reina de las nieves. Gerda comienza a buscarlo, incansable, pero no será tan fácil hallarlo.

About the author

Hans Christian Andersen (often referred to in Scandinavia as H.C. Andersen) was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories — called eventyr, or "fairy-tales" — express themes that transcend age and nationality.

Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Nightingale", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and many more. His stories have inspired plays, ballets, and both live-action and animated films.
