The illustrations were beautiful, but the story was predictable, and unfortunately the words didn't flow as smoothly as the images did. ( ) The daughter of Father Frost and Mother Spring, the Snow Princess grows up in wintry isolation, with only her parents for company. When she becomes a young woman, she sets out to explore the world, her father's warning about the dangers of falling in love with a human - something that will lead to her death - ringing in her ears. Despite this warning, the princess eventually meets, is befriended by, and falls in love with a young human man named Sergei. Not wanting to die, she attempts to withdraw, only for the snowstorm she summons to endanger Sergei. Can she buy her life at the price of his...? Based upon The Snow Maiden, a Russian ballet composed by Rimsky-Korsakov, The Snow Princess has all of the hallmarks of a classic fairy-tale, with the forces of nature, star-crossed lovers, and fateful choices pitting survival against love all playing a role. Ruth Sanderson has changed the ending of the story here, making it less tragic - yes, the Snow Princess will die, but This picture book tells the tale of the daughter of Father Frost and Mother Spring, and how she leaves her home in the icy north to see the world. She is given one warning from them before she leaves: she is safe from death as long as she never falls in love. The book follows her travels around the world, and her adventure meeting humans. Sanderson takes the plot from a Russian opera, also called The Snow Princess and writes with a straightforward style. The color illustrations are incredibly beautiful and the dust jacket has glitter on it to depict the magical snow. This is great for ages 4-9. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
