Contains robbers who kill secondary characters, threaten murder of the primary characters, and mysterious aging, which we’re pretty sure is symbolic in a Joseph Campbell kind of way.

Additional Notes
As referenced in part one of “The Snow Queen,” Hans Christian Andersen’s version is very different from Disney’s Frozen, which is in part why we love bringing you the original versions (or very close to the original).
Here you’ll hear a whole host of interesting characters and situations that give the fairy tale its own distinct flavor, even as you get many familiar themes.
