I'd wanted to write a Winter... Hey, TomWildRose! I'd wanted to write a Winter Queen piece for some time, but was galvanized into action by all the things Frozen did wrong. It was just wrenching to see how many themes and deep meanings were just SKIPPED by Disney. There was soo much that could have, SHOULD have been done... and once I get mad at someone doing a story wrong, it can be like rocket fuel to my own version. :-) I include summaries of the source tales at the beginnings of the Thaw: books, educating readers on the original tales to prime them for my versions. :-) We do borrow from the Disney version, (it is a universal truth that as soon as Disney does something that becomes America's version of the tale!) Some of the ideas were too cute to toss, one of them being the family with 13 princes. Having recently met a family with 8 kids under the age of ten, and hearing of the derogatory remarks their mother receives, that opportunity to contrast Noran's two-daughter family with Demargen's 13-son one was too good to pass up.<br /> And the spin-offs are irresistible! :-) <br /> And Anderson seems a little stuck on roses... they populate his tales quite a lot! In fact a quick search of "Roses Hans Christian Anderson" produces interesting results!<br /> Thanks for commenting!!! <br /> Elizabeth E.

Roses have always been (one of) my favorite flowers, but I never knew they were connected with Anderson's <i>Snow Queen</i>. *Adds to List*<br /><br />(Is it just me, or do I detect a hint of <i>Frozen</i> in the mix, too? ;-))<br /><br />God bless,<br />~"Tom"~TomWildRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914330705701940882noreply@blogger.com
