Hans Christian Andersen's stories are timeless-but the language doesn't have to be.
The Ice Maiden
is one of Andersen's most enchanting and emotional tales-but many versions were written over a century ago in outdated English that can be hard for kids to enjoy. This retelling brings the classic story to life with clear, modern language that makes it perfect for today's young readers.
Ideal for independent reading or reading aloud, this edition preserves the spirit and heart of Andersen's original tale while making it easy to follow and fun to read.
Part of the KidLit-o library, where classic stories are made accessible and enjoyable for a whole new generation.
