Education: Attended Paier School of Art, 1970–74. Kenneth and Victoria (Sasur) Sanderson married Kenneth Robinson children: two daughters. Recommended to Ruth Sanderson fans, and to anyone who appreciated beautifully-illustrated fairy-tales.Born November 24, 1951, in Ware, MA daughter of C. I think my favorite scenes were the ones in which the Snow Princess walks along with the polar bear, and the one in which she kneels over a fallen Sergei. I have a weakness for wintry scenes, so it was probably a foregone conclusion that I would enjoy this one, but Sanderson's paintings are still just lovely. The artwork, done in oil paint, is absolutely gorgeous. Ruth Sanderson has changed the ending of the story here, making it less tragic - yes, the Snow Princess will die, but only in the fullness of time, as all mortals do. Can she buy her life at the price of his.?īased upon The Snow Maiden, a Russian ballet composed by Rimsky-Korsakov, The Snow Princess has all of the hallmarks of a classic fairy-tale, with the forces of nature, star-crossed lovers, and fateful choices pitting survival against love all playing a role.
Not wanting to die, she attempts to withdraw, only for the snowstorm she summons to endanger Sergei. Despite this warning, the princess eventually meets, is befriended by, and falls in love with a young human man named Sergei. When she becomes a young woman, she sets out to explore the world, her father's warning about the dangers of falling in love with a human - something that will lead to her death - ringing in her ears.
The daughter of Father Frost and Mother Spring, the Snow Princess grows up in wintry isolation, with only her parents for company.
