Mirror, mirror on the wall... Who's the deadliest of them all? Once upon a time, a girl named Sophie rode into the forest with the queen's huntsman. Her lips were the colour of ripe cherries, her skin as soft as new-fallen snow, her hair as dark as midnight. When they stopped to rest, the huntsman pulled out his knife... and took Sophie's heart. It shouldn't have come as a surprise. Sophie had heard the rumors. They said she was too kind and foolish to rule - a disaster of a future queen. And Sophie believed them. She believed everything she'd heard about herself, the poisonous words people use to ... |

Илюстрации: Виктория Видевска. ... Един от шедьоврите на Ханс Кристиан Андерсен е приказката "Снежната кралица", описваща израстването и съпътстващите го трудности - откъсването от дома, навлизането в непознатото, загубата на невинност и срещата със собствената ни сянка. Комплексната проблематика прави приказката подходяща както за деца, така и за възрастни. Често плашеща и трудна за разбиране на пръв поглед, в нея се крие разнообразие от морални ценности и идеали. Целта на илюстратора Виктория Видевска е да оживи контрастите, от които е изградено всяко детство - добро и лошо, реално и измислено, ред и хаос. ... |
