My Enduring Obsession with The Snow Queen (Grace's Reading Corner)
Have you been craving a close reading of the final passage of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen? No? Well, you should probably listen to this Grace’s Reading Corner not-so-mini episode about why society loves a snowy queen anyway.
This episode focuses specifically on the illustrated edition by the wonderful Mary Engelbreit, which remains a personal influence.
This is a very vibes-forward Cold Book Episode, so grab some cocoa and a blanket and snuggle up for a listen!
