Retold by Amy Ehrlich.
Illustrated by
Susan Jeffers.
Here's a handsomely designed version (slightly updated) of the favorite tale by an illustrator who draws and paints with equal artistry and skill. With superb use of color, the dramatic action is shown chiefly in half-page pictures, while the serene forest scenes overspread two pages and give the volume a definitive atmosphere. It's a book of considerable beauty.

Jeffers's gorgeously detailed illustrations draw readers into Andersen's tale of loss and redemption. This edition includes three new illustrations and a shiny dust jacket complete with sparkling silver snowflakes.
