Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales: The Snow Man:

This is one of the very weird stories however by the title you would thinks it's just a nice winter story. It's actually about a snowman that has fallen in love with a stove. Don't worry that's not a spoiler by the way. It's quite a short story so I won't tell you anything else but I will tell you about my favourite character in the story. I haven't told you about his character yet even though he says the most in the story. My favourite character is the dog. It's quite clever how Andersen describes the life of the dog because it's what happen in those times and what sometimes happens now. It is a really short story and I don't want to ruin it for you so this might be a shorter post than usual.
    I think in the next few years they'll make this into one of those Christmas short films like the other snowman film. It'll be quite funny to see children watch as a snowman falls in love with an old stove or is that just me. It's quite an unusual story but it made me laugh a bit and I enjoyed it. Andersen's stories are really good when you want to read but you don't have the time because it'll take you about five minutes to finish just one of his stories.
   Here's the images from the start of the story:


Thanks for reading and if you have any books or posts you want me to do please put them in the comments and I'll do them as soon as possible.
