Quiconque en reçoit un dans l'oeil se met à voir tout en noir, et s'il se fiche dans le coeur, celui-ci se change en bloc de glace, attirant la Reine des Neiges.

Mais son amie Gerda part à sa recherche, rencontrant en chemin magiciens, brigands et princesses. Ce recueil rassemble cinq contes parmi les plus célèbres d'Andersen : La Reine des Neiges, La Petite Poucette, La Cloche, Les Fleurs de la petite Ida et Les Cygnes sauvages, qui entraînent le lecteur dans un univers enchanté qui n'a pas pris une ride.
