  The longest of Andersen's novellas for adult readership. The relationship between a young Swiss hunter from a German-speaking upland and a wealthy miller's daughter from a comfortable francophone canton plays out a wealth of themes. In the terrifying Ice Virgin and her minions we glimpse fairytale; but this is a powerful story of the real world.
