Day 7 of 12:
“I can give her no greater power than she has already, said the woman;
don’t you see how strong that is? “
The Snow Queen

Of course this wintry weather and yesterdays book have me thinking of another Icy Noble Lady “The Snow Queen” Honestly, the whole HCA fairytale collection is a great thing to have on hand! Keep warm by the fire and enjoy this wintery tale, a look into the inspiration for Frozen.
