~ The Snow Maiden's beautiful face and the Russian fairy tale for whom our shoppe is named.
The Snow Maiden is the heroine of various legends. In one story, a childless couple
make a girl of snow who, to their delight, becomes animated. Only she will melt if
she falls in love. Indeed, her heart begins to warm her when she meets Lel', the
shepherd boy. Some say she melted of love, but one legend contends her parents sent
her to the North Pole to help Father Frost deliver presents, and therefore she could
at least visit once a year. Our Snow Maiden Fairy Tale doll beautifully illustrates
the legend - painted and lacquered in St. Petersburg. Signed by the artist on bottom.
