Tales of the white witch
"The snow-flakes grew larger and larger, till at last they looked just like great white fowls. Suddenly they flew on one side; the large sledge stopped, and the person who drove rose up. It was a lady; her cloak and cap were of snow. She was tall and of slender figure, and of a dazzling whiteness. It was the Snow Queen.
"We have travelled fast," said she; "but it is freezingly cold. Come under my bearskin." And she put him in the sledge beside her, wrapped the fur round him, and he felt as though he were sinking in a snow-wreath.
"Are you still cold?" asked she; and then she kissed his forehead. Ah! it was colder than ice; it penetrated to his very heart, which was already almost a frozen lump; it seemed to him as if he were about to die--but a moment more and it was quite congenial to him, and he did not remark the cold that was around him.
"My sledge! Do not forget my sledge!" It was the first thing he thought of. It was there tied to one of the white chickens, who flew along with it on his back behind the large sledge. The Snow Queen kissed Kay once more, and then he forgot little Gerda, grandmother, and all whom he had left at his home.
"Now you will have no more kisses," said she, "or else I should kiss you to death!""
I have no doubt that fairy tale lover C.S. Lewis was influenced by the above scene from Hans Christian Andersen's "Snow Queen" when he penned The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe:
"On the sledge, driving the reindeer, sat a far dwarf who would have been about three feet high if he had been standing. He was dressed in polar bear's fur and on his head he wore a red hood with a long gold tassel hanging down from its point; his huge beard covered his knees and served him instead of a rug. But behind him, on a much higher seat in the middle of the sledge sat a very different person-a great lady, taller than any woman Edmund had ever seen. She also was covered in white fur up to her throat and held a long straight golden want in her right hand and wore a golden crown on her head. Her face was white-not merely pale, but white like snow or paper or icing sugar, except for her very red mouth. It was a beautiful face in other respects, but proud and cold and stern.
"Stop!" said the Lady, and the dwarf pulled the reindeer up so sharply that they almost sat down. Then they recovered themselves and stood champing their bits and blowing. In the frosty air the breath coming out of their nostrils looked like smoke.
"And what, pray, are you?" said the Lady, looking hard at Edmund.
"I'm-I'm-my name's Edmund," said Edmund rather awkwardly. He did not like the way she looked at him.
The Lady frowned. "Is that how you address a Queen?" she asked, looking sterner than ever.
"I beg your pardon, your Majesty, I didn't know," said Edmund.
"My poor child," she said in quite a different voice, "how cold you look! Come and sit with me here on the sledge and I will put my mantle around you and we will talk."
Edmund did not like this arrangement at all but he dared not disobey; he stepped on to the sledge and sat at her feet, and she put a fold of her fur mantle around him and tucked it well in."

Reviews for "Unraveling the White Witch's True Identity"
1. Lily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Tales of the white witch". The storyline was incredibly boring and predictable. I could guess what was going to happen next within the first few chapters. The characters lacked depth and development, making it hard for me to truly connect with any of them. The writing style also didn't resonate with me, as it felt forced and lacked the necessary emotional impact. Overall, I found this book to be a letdown and not worth my time.
2. Max - 1 star - "Tales of the white witch" was simply terrible. The plot was confusing and at times made no sense. The author seemed to throw random events together without any coherent structure. Additionally, the dialogue felt unnatural and forced, making it impossible for me to become invested in the story or the characters. The pacing was extremely slow, and it felt like nothing significant happened until the very end. I regret wasting my time on this book and would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I really wanted to enjoy "Tales of the white witch" but unfortunately, I found it to be quite underwhelming. The writing lacked depth and sophistication, making it difficult to truly immerse myself in the world the author was trying to create. The story itself had potential, but it failed to deliver on its promises. The conflicts felt superficial and resolved too easily, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. Overall, I felt like this book had the potential to be great, but it fell short in execution.
4. Jake - 2.5 stars - "Tales of the white witch" was an average read for me. The plot had potential, but it lacked originality and felt like a rehash of similar fantasy stories I've read before. The characters, while somewhat likable, lacked depth and remained quite two-dimensional throughout the book. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on, while others were rushed. While it had its moments, this book failed to leave a lasting impression on me.
5. Sarah - 3 stars - "Tales of the white witch" was an okay read, but it didn't live up to the hype for me. The world-building was decent, and there were some interesting magical elements, but the overall story felt disjointed. The author tried to incorporate too many subplots and side characters, making it difficult to keep track of everything. The writing style was simple and lacked the necessary descriptive details to fully transport me into the story. While this book had its moments, it didn't captivate me like I had hoped.
