Snow Tales (NS)

In Snow Tales (NS), Michael Morpurgo gathers four illustrated Christmas stories for young readers, each pairing simple text with vivid pictures. The opening tale follows a soldier on the front lines of the Great War who slips a heartfelt letter into a secret drawer, bringing one night of wartime hardship and longing to life. Another story tells of a child who witnesses a sudden chorus of angelic wings and a brilliant light, sending them on a brief, magical adventure. The collection also includes a newly added story of a mischievous goose trying to fatten up for the holidays and a nostalgic recollection of simpler times, all exploring themes of hope, sacrifice, and the joy of the season.
