A new edition of a beautiful, poignant classic with stunning illustrations from acclaimed illustrator Angela Barrett.
Paul William Gallico was born in New York City in 1897. He was one
of the most well-known sporting writers in America, and a minor
celebrity. But he had always wanted to be a fiction writer and
eventually retired from sports writing and went to live in Europe
to devote himself to writing novels and short stories.Though his
name was well-known in the United States, he was unknown to the
rest of the world until 1941, when The Snow Goose was published. He
died in Antibes in 1976, just short of his 79th birthday.
Angela Barrett studied illustration at the Royal College of Art and
after graduating in 1980, she began an acclaimed career in
children's book illustration. Angela won the Smarties Award in
1988. She lives in London.
