Spring actually figures prominently in Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen - fitting for the change of seasons.

It's a long winter after the Snow Queen takes Kay away, and Gerda sets out on her quest to find him again in the following spring.

After she finds him again, "Kay and Gerda walked on, hand in hand, and wherever they went they found the most delightful spring and blooming flowers."
