"Many a winter's night she flies through the streets and peeps in at the windows, and then the ice freezes on the panes into wonderful patterns like flowers."
—The Snow Queen, Hans Christian Andersen
Edmund Dulac
@e_ardincaple There was a fantastic cartoon adaptation of this that came out of the Soviet Union - but was broadcast often in the west, it was something I anticipated every christmas as a child.
