About this audiobook
Once upon a time two poor Woodcutters were making their way home through a great pine-forest. It was winter, and a night of bitter cold. The snow lay thick upon the ground, and upon the branches of the trees: the frost kept snapping the little twigs on either side of them, as they passed: and when they came to the Mountain-Torrent she was hanging motionless in air, for the Ice-King had kissed her. Read in English, unabridged.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A beautiful baby is found by a woodcutter abandoned in the woods. The woodcutter brings up the child as his own, but the child is conceited and ungrateful. One day, he is cursed with ugliness, which leads him to wander in search of his father. When he finds his father, he does not know until his father witnesses his change from conceited and ungrateful to humble and gracious. After the change, his father reveals himself, and the son is forgiven.The book would be useful in a discussion about humility, attitude, and rewards and consequences.
