| Winter is beautiful, but so cold. |
Salutations, readers. This week, we'll finish up the story of The Snow Queen with parts 5, 6, and 7. This is the longest story we've looked at together, so I applaud you for making it all the way through. If you haven't read the previous parts, or if you don't remember them, the entire story is at the link above. Give it a read and come back to analyze it with me.

| Even beautiful flowers can be part of a prison. |
Hello again friends. I'm changing up my usual rhythm for this story. We'll be looking at Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen every week until it's done. Then I'll write a modern version of it. Otherwise, I'd be writing stories that didn't finish. So, if you read stories 1 and 2 last week, go ahead and scroll down to stories 3 and 4 and give them a read.

| Beautiful, but cold as ice |
Hello friends! For those of us in the Northern hemisphere, we're deep into winter, so this story is pretty apt. For those in the Southern hemisphere, I suppose you can remember winter as you're deep into summer.
I've wanted to talk about Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen for quite awhile. The only reason I haven't is because it's so long. It's not a novel, but it's much longer than the short stories I usually choose for this blog. However, I was looking at fairy tales online the other day, as you do, when I found that some places have this story split into seven different stories, which are much more manageable. So, I hope you like Hans Christian Andersen's writing, because we'll be looking at The Snow Queen for the next several weeks. Today, we'll look at the first and second stories because the first one is so short. In future weeks, it will probably just be one story at a time. So, go ahead and read stories one and two at the link above, then join me below to analyze them.
