rae_faThis story that i'm looking for, isn't a fanfic story...i think possibly it may be a Hans Christian Anderson story...but i'm not 100% certain. Ever since Narnia came out, the name and contents of this story has been bugging me...so if anyone can help me, i would be oh, so grateful!
It has 2 children in it, possibly brother and sister, and one of the name's begins with 'G' (No it isn't Hansel and Gretel - mwah). There's an ice queen in it (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ice_queen82's name has also added to the story coming back to me), who i think has a mirror which shatters into lots of pieces, and a shard of the mirror pierces the boys heart(?), and makes him the Queen's servant, and he becomes very cold hearted. I think he's given the task of finding all the mirrors pieces to fix it, but he can't find the last piece (since it's in his heart). The girl, (possibly beginning with G...Gertrude?) tries to get him to recognise her, but he doesn't care. Something happens to her, which makes the boy cry, which gets rid of the shard of mirror from him, and returns him back to normal.
Now...no-one in my family recognises the story, but i know i saw it in the theatre when i was a little girl, and consequently have the story in a book...but the book is up in the attic due to decorating, and so i cannot get a hold of it to re-familiarise myself with it. This story was a favourite of mine, and the fact i can't remember it is really doing my head in!! Help?
In other news...still not feeling very positive about work - actually sat and discussed the possibility of quitting with my mum last night, which, even though it's a very nice thought, doesn't change the fact that i have an easy job at work, what with my hours, and the jobs i do there...plus there are a lot of customers i would miss...and maybe, 4 members of staff (Helen, James, Steve andakira42)
Off to choose the London Musical i'm going to see for my birthday now!

The UGC and the UCI are though. I'll phone you so we can discuss our options. Today isn't good right? Daniel's birthday is today I think you mentioned? I'll see. Maybe today or if not, defintely tomorrow.
