The Polar Bear Queen

By Esther Spurrill Jones

Long ago and far away there were two neighbouring lands that had little in common beyond their shared border. The southern kingdom was warm and green year-round with bountiful farmlands and pastures while the north lay under an eternal blanket of snow. When the daughter of the king of Summerland meets the queen of Winterland, an adventure begins that takes them all over the world through a tale that echoes the best of fairy tales. From magical potions and food to an evil sorcerer, Anette and Sigrid surmount all obstacles in their way to living together happily ever after.
