Description
Frost sprites dance at the windowpane, a snow-dwelling spider grants wishes and elusive spectral beings convey a message in this magical collection!
Journey from a Japanese blizzard to a magical Arctic village, from the snow-covered forests of Kajanaland to a waterfall in Iceland. A snow maiden soars on her sleigh to a permafrost palace and a soothsayer in a bearskin robe shares a warning with a sprinkling of white leaves.
A maiden wanders through a portal to a winter wonderland while a crone emerges from a snowstorm bearing gifts. A mythological goddess conjures the ghosts of past eras and a snow goddess brings unexpected insights.
Be swept away to enchanting snowscapes with fifteen original tales to inspire, surprise and light the way through the winter darkness.
