Chris asked Bob Eckstein:

Hey, Mr. Eckstein! After reading your History of the Snowman, and noticing the year it was published, I must ask; what do you think of Olaf from Frozen?

Bob Eckstein Hi Chris,thanks for writing and asking. To be totally honest, the Disney character holds little historical reference and is only meant for children’s entertainment. Sorry if that’s not the answer you were hoping for. I just finished a revised, very lush and beautiful new edition of the book called The Illustrated History of the Snowman. It comes out in Sept by Globe Pequot and I must say it’s amazing with over 300 photographs and paintings.
