The Snow Queen is a ballet adopted from the fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen. The book was first published in 1845. The story showcases the struggle between good and evil as taken on by a little boy and girl, Gerda and Kay.
The Snow Queen is a tale told in seven stories. To set the stage for the main plot the first story talks about an evil "troll" or "devil" who makes a magic mirror empowered with capability to destroy the appearance of things reflected in it. All the good and beautiful aspects of people and things are shrunk down to nothing in the mirror's reflection while all the bad and ugly aspects are magnified so that they look even worse than they really are. The troll taught a "troll school," and the troll and his pupils delighted in taking the mirror throughout the world to distort everyone and everything. They liked how the mirror made the loveliest landscapes look like "boiled spinach." They then wanted to carry the mirror into heaven with the idea of making fools of the angels and God, but the higher they lifted it, the more the mirror grinned and shook with delight. When they had taken it very high up it shook so much that it slipped from their grasp and fell back to earth where it shattered into billions of pieces—some no larger than a grain of sand. These splinters were blown around with the wind and would get into people's hearts and eyes. Their hearts would become frozen like a block of ice, and their eyes would become like the troll-mirror itself, only showing them the bad and ugly in things and people.
The second story begins the main plotline: A little boy, Kay, and a little girl, Gerda, live next door to each other in the garrets of buildings with adjoining roofs in a large city. One could get from Kay's to Gerda's home just by stepping over the gutters of each building. The two families grow vegetables and roses in window boxes placed on the gutters. Kay and Gerda have a window-box garden to play in, and they become devoted in love to each other as playmates.
Kay's grandmother tells the children about the Snow Queen, who is ruler over the snowflakes, that look like bees—that is why they are called "snow bees." As bees have a queen, so do the snow bees, and she is seen where the snowflakes cluster the most. Looking out of his frosted window, Kay, one winter, sees the Snow Queen, who beckons him to come with her. Kay draws back in fear from the window.
It was on a pleasant summer's day following, that splinters of the troll-mirror get into Kay's heart and eyes while he and Gerda are looking at a picture book in their window-box garden. Kay's personality changes: he becomes cruel and aggressive. He destroys their window-box garden, he makes fun of his grandmother, and he no longer cares about Gerda, since all of them now appear bad and ugly to him. The only beautiful and perfect things to him now are the tiny snowflakes that he sees through a magnifying glass.
The following winter he goes out with his sled to the market square and hitches it—as was the custom of those playing in the snowy square—to a curious white sleigh carriage, driven by the Snow Queen herself appearing as a man in a white fur-coat. Outside the city she shows herself to Kay and takes him into her sleigh. She kisses him only twice: once to numb him from the cold, and the second time to cause him to forget about Gerda and his family. She does not kiss him a third time as that would kill him. Kay is then taken to the Snow Queen's palace on Spitsbergen, near the North Pole where he is contented to live due to the splinters of the troll-mirror in his heart and eyes.

The people of the city get the idea that Kay has been drowned in the river nearby, but Gerda, who is heartbroken at Kay's disappearance, goes out to look for him. She questions everyone and everything about Kay's whereabouts. By not taking the gift of Gerda's new red shoes at first, the river seems to let her know that Kay is not drowned: Gerda offered them to the river in exchange for Kay, but why would it take them if it did not drown him? A rose bush that had been caused to sink into the earth by the witchcraft of a kind old woman, who sheltered Gerda but feared she could think of roses in her house and recall Kay, is raised by Gerda's warm tears and tells her that Kay is not among the dead, all of whom it could see while it was underground. Gerda fled from old woman's beautiful garden of eternal summer and met a raven, who told her, that Kay was in the princess's palace. She subsequently went to the palace and met the princess and her prince, who was very similar to Kay. Gerda told them her story and they helped, providing warm clothes and the beautiful coach. On her further way Gerda was captured by robbers and brought to their castle, where she was befriended by a little robber girl, whose pet doves told her that they had seen Kay when he was carried away by the Snow Queen in the direction of Lapland. The captive reindeer, Bae, tells her that he knows how to get to Lapland since it is his home. The robber girl, then, frees Gerda and the reindeer to travel north to the Snow Queen's palace. They make two stops: first at the Lapp woman's home and then at the Finn woman's home. The Finn woman tells, that the secret of Gerda's power to save Kay was in Gerda's sweet and innocent child's heart, and nobody had equivalent ability to do that:
"I can't give her any greater power than she already has. Don't you see how great it is? Don't you see how people and animals want to serve her, how she has come so far in the world in her bare feet? She must not learn of her power from us. It resides in her heart, it lies in the fact that she is a sweet and innocent child. If she can't reach the Snow Queen on her own and remove the glass from little Kay, there's nothing we can do to help her."[1]
When Gerda gets to the Snow Queen's palace she finds Kay alone on the frozen lake, which the Snow Queen calls the "Mirror of Reason" on which her throne sits. Gerda finds Kay engaged in the task that the Snow Queen gave him to use pieces of ice as components of a Chinese puzzle to form characters and words. If he would be able to form the word "eternity" (Danish: Evigheden) the Snow Queen would release him from her power and give him a pair of skates. Gerda finds him, runs up to him, and weeps warm tears on him, which melts his heart, burning away the troll-mirror splinter in it. Kay bursts into tears, dislodging the splinter from his eye. Gerda kissed Kay a few times, and he became cheerful and healthy again, with sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks: he was saved by the power of Gerda's love. He and Gerda dance around on the lake of ice so joyously that the splinters of ice Kay has been playing with are caught up into it. When the splinters tire of the dance they fall down to spell the very word Kay was trying to spell, "eternity." Even if the Snow Queen were to return, she would be obliged to free Kay. Kay and Gerda then leave the Snow Queen's domain with the help of the reindeer, the Finn woman, and the Lapp woman. They meet the robber girl after they have crossed the line of vegetation, and from there they walk back to their home, "the big city." They find that all is the same at home, but they have changed! They are now grown up, and they are delighted to see that it is summertime. They exemplify the Bible passage that the Grandmother reads at the end, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3).
