- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An incredibly beautiful volume of winter tales, bookended by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" and Alexandre Dumas's "The History of a Nutcracker."The book itself is beautiful - bonded leather in ice blue with silvery gilt pages ♥ The tales are a mix of fairy tales and winter stories by the likes of Louisa May Alcott, Oscar Wilde, and Charles Dickens. The fairy tales are derived from Andrew Lang's twelve color-coded volumes of fairy tales and traditional tales from around the world.A perfect way to welcome the season of ice and snow!
