Ce conte d'Andersen fut écrit en cinq jours seulement, bien qu'il soit l'un de ses plus longs. Un miroir ensorcelé se brise et l'un des éclats se fiche dans le cœur d'un garçon, le rendant dur et indifférent, jusqu'au jour où il disparaît. Son amie le cherchera de plus en plus loin, jusqu'au château de la Reine des Neiges qui le retient contre son gré. Ce conte classique a fait l'objet de multiples adaptations, à la télévision et au cinéma, dont le dernier en date est le Frozen des studios Disney ; il a été publié pour la première fois en 1844. Il est aujourd'hui interprété par Fabienne Prost, pour le plaisir des petits et des grands.

Un bonhomme de neige ne connaît rien du monde ; comment le pourrait-il ? Son fidèle ami le chien tente de partager sa sagesse. Mais voilà que le bonhomme tombe amoureux, et de la façon la plus désespérée : le poêle qui luit derrière la vitre, et duquel il ne pourra jamais se rapprocher... Entre-temps, arrive le dégel qui lentement le fond. Ce conte rare et mélancolique est l'un des chef-d'oeuvres d'Andersen, certainement sa pièce la plus personnelle et la plus touchante. Il est interprété par Fabienne Prost, dont la voix douce emporte l'imagination des petits et des grands.

Description in English - see Spanish below.Choosing the most representative stories of Hans Christian Andersen has been a real challenge, since he wrote nearly two hundred: this book includes a wonderful selection of the most memorable in their original versions. His humble origins and the extreme poverty he suffered in his childhood, worthy of a character in one of his stories, gives his stories a serious, hard, melancholic character and, unlike those of Perrault or the Grimm brothers, free of moral. . Rare are his stories with a happy ending, and yet he may be the most popular, read and loved of the authors of the genre. Illustrated by Marta Ponce.Escoger los cuentos más representativos de Hans Christian Andersen ha supuesto un verdadero reto, ya que escribió cerca de doscientos: este libro incluye una maravillosa selección de los más memorables en sus versiones originales. Sus orígenes humildes y la pobreza extrema que padeció en su infancia, digna de un personaje de alguno de sus relatos, imprime a sus historias un carácter serio, duro, melancólico y, a diferencia de los de Perrault o los hermanos Grimm, exento de moraleja. Raros son sus cuentos con final feliz y, sin embargo, acaso sea el más popular, leído y querido de los autores del género.Illustrado por Marta Ponce

Lorsque la petite sirène atteint l'âge de quinze ans, elle est autorisée à nager jusqu'à la surface pour contempler le monde extérieur. Elle aperçoit un navire avec un beau prince de son âge. Une tempête se déclenche, le navire chavire et le prince tombe à l'eau. Elle le sauve en le ramenant, inconscient, au rivage. Mais une jeune femme surgit et la sirène s'éclipse. Le prince, à son réveil, aperçoit la jeune femme et pense qu'elle l'a sauvé. Surprise de découvrir que les hommes ne respirent pas sous l'eau et meurent très vite, elle questionne sa grand-mère. Celle-ci lui apprend que les hommes vivent bien moins longtemps que les sirènes mais qu'ils ont une âme éternelle. La petite sirène veut, elle aussi, avoir une âme éternelle. Pour cela, lui dit sa grand-mère, elle doit se faire aimer et épouser d'un homme...

S'étonnant de la provenance de cette graine, la femme la plante néanmoins : une fillette minuscule sortira de la fleur. Elle décide d'appeler l'enfant Poucette, car elle n'est pas plus haute qu'un pouce.

Elle parvient cependant à s'échapper en montant sur un tapis de lys voguant à la surface de la rivière voisine. La repérant de loin, un hanneton fond sur elle et la fait prisonnière ; il la montre à ses congénères qui, dégoûtés par l'apparence de Poucette, le rejettent. Dépité, le hanneton finit par s'en débarrasser au pied d'un arbre. Quelles aventures la petite poucette va t-elle encore vivre ? Vous le saurez en découvrant cette version d'un conte classique d'Andersen lue par Fabienne Prost.
