The Snow Queen
A devil's mirror that shrinks everything good and magnifies everything vile shatters in the sky, and the splinters lodge in human eyes and hearts. One lands in a boy who shares a rooftop rose garden with the girl next door; he turns cruel, and a woman in white furs takes him north on her sledge. Gerda goes after him through seven linked stories, in the longest and most freely invented thing Andersen wrote.
