The story of Kay, the little boy whose heart and eye are pierced by a splinter of glass. When Kay is carried off by the beautiful but cruel Snow Queen, his friend Gerda sets off in search of him. 'P.

"Beautiful." * T.E.S. * "P J Lynch's illustrations overlay photographic realism with decorative fantasy, expressing the fear, passion and beauty of the story." * The Sunday Times (Culture) * "Dreamy illustrations by P.J. Lynch. A perfect family Christmas read aloud." * The Bookbag * "A long, mysterious fantasy, lyrically retold in this version and handsomely illustrated in full-blown romantic style." * Booklist * "Brilliantly done...a handsome book that could easily become beloved." * School Librarian *
