La regina delle nevi e altri racconti. Ediz. speciale

Let it go. Let it goooo. fabulous jazz hands No. Seriously. Let it go. This wasn't very good. This was Lord of the Rings for children. As in, there is a lot of wandering and questing and inconsequential conversations. And maybe some of this stuff - bonding over flower pots, singing a religious song over Leggi tutto

This was actually my first time reading this story (I don't know how!). I didn't enjoy it as much as other fairy tales I've read, but still think it's worth a read... The story is about little Gerda who embarks on a long and whimsical adventure to bring her best friend Kai home. Gerda's commitment i Leggi tutto

This is a favourite winter read of my favourite childhood fairy tale. The story starts with Kay and Gerda pressing hot pennies against the ice on the inside of their windows to see out and there's a full page illustration of this.

3 stars I picked up The Snow Queen because I'm trying to fit in a few more Christmas reads and I got it free from audible. The narration was good, but the story was just okay for me. I know a lot of people love this story and read it as children... this was my first read through. It was only about

After having finished Graham Masterton's superb novel Spirit I had to read the blueprint again many years after having read it in childhood. I enjoyed this fairy tale of Gerda looking for Kay and finally being able to release him from The Snow Queen with a little help of some friends (interesting ch Leggi tutto

چقدر این داستان خوب بود. بعضی عناصرش (مثل آینه ای که کای رو باهوش ولی سرد و بی احساس می کنه، یا بوسه های ملکه برفی زیبا که یاد چیزهایی که کای دوست داشته رو از قلبش پاک می کنه و...) بی نظیر و حیرت انگیز بودن، اون قدر که باورم نمی شد صد و پنجاه سال قبل نوشته شده. هر چند بعضی عناصر همچنان شبیه قصه های Leggi tutto

This was a nice story. I hope to listen to it again in one sitting. I think I may have lost some of the story with all of the stopping and starting I did. I still don't feel compelled to watch Frozen after listening to this story.
