Snow Queen Week: Susan Jeffers

Another picture book of the Snow Queen, this time with illustrations by Susan Jeffers, another illustrator who has applied her talent to many fairy tale renderings. The text in this one is retold from Andersen's tale by Amy Ehrlich.


The book has been reprinted with a few covers. The one at the top of the post is from 2006. The original cover from 1983 is below:


Jeffers has also illustrated The Wild Swans, Thumbelina, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel. I also shared her Nutcracker earlier this month. Her picture book version of Silent Night is my personal favorite of all her work.
