Published by E.P. Dutton in 1929.  Overall in EXCELLENT CONDITION. Red cloth boards, boards with very light corner and edge wear, blue titling and decoration front board and spine, clear and unfaded.  Very solidly bound, no markings on pictorial endpapers, a previous owner 1938 inscription on half title page (see listing photos) which is only marking in the book.  209 pages with numerous black, red, and white full-page illustrations.  Including the frontispiece, there are 48 full-page illustrations.  There is also the within-text illustration on the title page (also seen on the front board), and the endpaper illustrations.  I have been unable to find a definitive citation for the number of full-page illustrations.  A few listings other than mine note 48 illustrations, but I've seen others that claim 50 illustrations.  The majority of listings of this special version of, The Snow Queen, do not provide the number of full-page illustrations.

The Snow Queen is one of Hans Christian Andersen's longest and most beloved stories. In it, two children, Kai and Gerda, are separated when Kai is taken away in a sleigh by the cold-hearted Snow Queen. Gerda travels far and wide to find her friend, encountering a sorceress, a raven, a reindeer, and other intriguing characters along the way. The Snow Queen was the inspiration for the animated Disney sensation, Frozen (2013), which won Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song ("Let it Go"). Some of Andersen's other now-classic fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid," "The Princess and the Pea," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Red Shoes.".
