As a child, I was fascinated by the story of Gerda and Kay and the mystical Snow Queen. Even as child, I loved the Snow Queen best of the characters in the story. I felt sad for her, living all alone in her palace of ice. So alone, that she has to kidnap Kay. Was this her attempt at finding love? Hans Christian Anderson did not write about what happened after Kay and Gerda left the ice palace. How did the Queen feel when she returned and found that Kay was gone? I often wondered. Gerda had so many friends and so many creatures who loved her and the Queen had only Kay. What do you think?

This part of my site is devoted to the Hans Christian Anderson tale, to Snow Queens, and to Snow Goddesses.
