To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.

HC Andersen's Snow Queen held an evil magick over certain individuals, somehow incorporating the Devil's distorted mirror into their vision, and making them misjudge goodness and beauty.

One of my favourite things about fairy tales is their focus on the miniature. Hans Christian Andersen had a gift for creating small worlds, like that of Thumbelina’s natural realm, penned in 1835. She slept in a walnut shell. I always loved that (🎨 Boyle)

Chunky author
I wonder what kind of story is this fat Andersen writting, probably something about other servants getting even fatter than himself
