Synopsis from Goodreads...Sanna Annukka is familiar to many from her collaborations with Marimekko and her artwork for Keane's album, Under the Iron Sea. For her second book project, she illustrates Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale, The Snow Queen...
"The boxes were very high, and the children knew that they were not to climb about them, but they were often allowed to take their little stools out on the roof under the roses, where they had a wonderful time playing together."The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, illustrated by Sanna Annukka
Comments: This is one classic I've been meaning to read for a long time. I finally got a copy last week. This quote comes from page 6, since 56 was too far into the story, almost at the end (the book is very short).
What classics have you recently read?
I'm pretty sure my mum read the Snow Queen to me when I was little. I'm reading Of Mice and Men at the moment, alice's adventures in wonderland, also The Pit and the Pendulum :)
ReplyDeleteI actually enjoyed the Snow Queen a lot. And, I hope you enjoy Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It's one of my favorite classics. Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your weekend! :-)
DeleteSounds like some well behaved children.

ReplyDeleteNice classic choice this week! Not a story I've read, but I have read The Princess and the Pea, plus others I cannot recall right now. P & P was one of my favorites though as a child. :-)
