A tantalizing story with the most favorite Christmas and New Year motive featured in this set of Matryoshka nesting dolls makes it an extremely valuable gift for these winter holidays.

 This piece of artistry presents the fairy tale Snow Queen, composed by the famous Danish story-teller Hans Christian Andersen, with each scene carefully painted on the Matryoshka nesting dolls and smoothly flowing one into another.

Here are the two main characters, Kay and Gerda, listening to Kay's Grandma telling them about the Snow Queen, the ruler over the snowflakes. Next comes the Snow Queen herself, portrayed on the second nesting doll, in her icy white sleigh carriage. The plot quickly unfolds, with the Snow Queen taking Kay away from Gerda with her to the North Pole, and the third Matryoshka nesting doll already tells about Gerda's adventures on her way to saving Kay. The images conveyed by Matryoshka nesting dolls picture Gerda fleeing to Lapland on the back of the reindeer, struggling with the snowflakes that guard the Snow Queen's palace, and finally melting Kay's heart with her warm tears. And as one turns the Matryoshka nesting dolls around, Kay and Gerda safely return home to their Grandma, but they are already grown up and it is summer outside.

The eternal story told by the artist with the help of delicate hand painting and exquisite lacquering technique, is certain to move the hearts of kids as much as of grownups, taking them back to the world of childhood and miracle, and will make the best Christmas and New Year gift that would be cherished and handed down from generation to generation. The unique design of this set of Matryoshka nesting dolls is personally selected from the artists that we have worked with for many years.
