The book : Rare in such a good condition -  Nice edition of Clara Creed illustrations for the Snow Queen. Pym's images for the Snow Queen bring to mind the medieval art of illumination in their knack of encapsulating a densely layered world in a single picture rendered in brillant hues and subtle textures. At the same time, they exude a nostalgic mood in the evocation of an old-style world on the brink of collapse, alongside a sentimantalist strain in the idealization of childhood.

The Author : Hans Christian Andersen often referred to in Scandinavia as H. C. Andersen (2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875), was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children: his stories express themes that transcend age and nationality.
