THE ICE PRINCESS STORYBOOK
Once upon a time…
This illustration by an artist known only as H. L. M. shows the Norse mythological figure Skadi hunting in the snowy mountains. It appeared in a book of Norse tales published in 1901.
A Tale of the Magical Women of Ice and Snow
Fascination with women of the winter has been around for centuries! Before the Disney movie Frozen spellbound girls (and boys!) of all ages with winter magic and snow queens, there were folktales, stories, myths, and art dedicated to various wintry women, from princesses and queens to mythological figures. Read on to find out more about these amazing stories and all their similarities and differences throughout history.
“Royal” women of snow and ice with various wintry powers have been around for a very long time. There is Skadi, a Norse figure; Marzanna, a Baltic/Slavic mythological figure; the Cailleach Bheur, an Irish/Scottish mythological figure; and Snegurochka, a Russian snow maiden. Though each of these ladies has something in common—they are the ruler of or associated with winter—they also have their own unique characteristics.
Fascination with mysterious women of the winter has been around for centuries!
Skadi is a Norse mythological figure of winter and skiing who lives in the snow-covered mountains. Marzanna is a Baltic/Slavic figure of winter, and to this day it is a tradition in March in some areas of countries like Poland to destroy a figure of Marzanna to symbolize the end of winter. Then there is the Cailleach Bheur, an Irish/Scottish figure of winter, who appears as an old woman. Snegurochka is a Russian character whose story appears in several forms. In one, she is a girl made out of snow by a childless couple, and when she grows up and is playing with friends by jumping over a fire, she melts. In another story, she is Father Frost’s daughter, and melts when she falls in love. Snegurochka later became part of the Russian New Year celebration, helping Father Frost give gifts to children.
This 1899 painting by Russian artist Viktor Vasnetsov depicts Snegurochka, a snow girl from Russian folktales.
This 1924 illustration of a scene from Hans Christian Andersen’s tale “The Snow Queen” was done by Anne Anderson and shows young Kay being spirited away by the Snow Queen.
These mythological figures and characters lived for a long time in the minds and stories of their cultures. Then, in 1844, a Danish writer named Hans Christian Andersen created an original new tale of winter magic called “The Snow Queen,” which appeared in his book New Fairy Tales, First Volume, Second Collection. Andersen wrote many novels, stories, and poems, and was one of the first writers responsible for bringing the fantastical aspects of the folktale genre into real literary works. Where writers like The Brothers Grimm collected oral tales (like the well-known stories of “Cinderella” and “Snow White”) and wrote them down, Andersen actually created whole new tales that fit right in with the folktales already being told. Andersen was the writer of many favorite, famous tales that we know and love today, like “The Little Mermaid,” “The Ugly Duckling,” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
These illustrations by Alfred Walter Bayes illustrated the story of “The Snow Queen” in an 1899 book of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales.
In this 1910 illustration by Margaret Tarrant, Kay meets the Snow Queen while sledding. The small illustrations around the edges of the image tell more of the story.
