Last two read to my own children.

Two reviews of The Snow Goose from www.amazon.co.uk:
1. I found this book by the sleeve notes from the progressive rock album by Camel. I had always enjoyed the music but never knew the story behind the album.
The book is the story of a man and his relationship with others. He overcomes all the disadvantages of his life to prove that courage and bravery are not the sole territory of the few.

2. My Dad handed me a very old copy of this book to read a few years ago and I recently re discovered it's brilliance. It is a beautiful short story that is written in such a captivating way that it would be hard to stop reading till you get to the end in just one sitting. I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates the beauty of description and emotion a book can sometimes offer a reader
