About “Iisjomfruen”

"The Ice-Maiden" is an 1861 fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen. It was first translated into English and published in 1863 by King and Baird. The story takes place in Switzerland and draws inspiration from a local legend associated with the Île de Peilz, a small island in Lake Geneva. The tale concludes on this island, which plays a central role in its ending. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
