The Snow Queen's Sleigh — Honor C. Appleton Postcard

Wrapped in the Snow Queen's white furs, a dark-haired child is swept through a moonlit sky as the sleigh cuts between wheeling swans and crows, pine boughs falling away below. Honor C. Appleton's illustration for Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, icy and tender at once.

A striking pick for a fairy-tale-themed swap, or tucked into a winter letter to someone who still believes in snow magic.
