“Then little Gerda said the Lord's Prayer; the cold was so intense that she could see her own breath; it came out of her mouth like smoke. Her breath became thicker and thicker, and took the form of little angels who grew larger and larger as soon as they touched the ground. ”

"The Snow Queen" is a fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. The book focuses on the fight between good and evil as encountered by Gerda and her friend, Kai.
