The Ice-maiden And Other Tales

The Ice Maiden rules the cold snowcapped mountains of Switzerland. Before Rudy was a year old, the Ice Maiden claimed his father into the icy depths of the mountains -- and now she wants Rudy too. The precocious little boy must now do everything in his power to resist the lure of the Ice Maiden . . . and escape her frosty grasps.

Hans Christian Andersen was, in his day, a well-known storyteller. His work has been translated into many languages -- and many media, as well. One of his famous fairy tale stories is "The Little Mermaid."
