“It Was the Snow Queen” — Honor C. Appleton Art Postcard

“It was the Snow Queen” — and there she is, forming out of frost and falling snow before a small child bundled in fur and mittens, a sledge waiting nearby. Honor C. Appleton paints Hans Andersen’s icy fairy tale in a hush of blue and white, magical rather than frightening.

A fitting choice for winter mail, or for anyone building a shelf of Snow Queen retellings.
