Lately I have been discovering Ruth Sanderson's art and have enjoyed it so much that I have bought several designs I play to spend months if not years cross stitching. Some of which are Spring, Summer, Fall Faerie, Woodland Enchantress aka Christmas Fairy and The Snow Princess. Several of her designs are also already charted from the illustrations in the story. Maybe one day I will collect them all.
As to the story... Father Frost and Mother Spring have a beautiful maiden daughter, the Snow Princess. She must choose between an immortal life and a mortal one with the love of a human man. It is beautifully illustrated and an interesting medium length fairy tale. It was good for a bed-time story.
I absolutely plan to continue to try to buy Ruth Sanderson's books and add them to our collection. This is my second in addition to her multi-cultural Treasury of Princesses. I'm glad I made this purchase.
