The Snow Goose

De: Paul Gallico

Narrado por: Steve Mackintosh, Georgia Groome, Deborah Findlay, Sam Dale

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Paul Gallico’s The Snow Goose by Nick Warburton, starring Steven Mackintosh.

When Open Book asked various authors to champion a favourite neglected classic on the programme, Michael Morpurgo chose The Snow Goose - perhaps no surprise, with his own story 'War Horse' depicting a friendship between a boy and his horse which takes them both into the horror of World War I.

In The Snow Goose, A wounded bird brings together a disfigured artist and a young girl on the eve of World War II. With Steven Mackintosh as Philip Rhayader, Georgia Groome as Fritha, Deborah Findlay as Mrs Farnes, and Sam Dale as the storyteller. Also featuring Michael Shelford, Malcolm Tierney, and David Seddon. Directed by Sally Avens.

A Beautiful Story

I don’t know why I had never known this book… my brother told me about it, and said it was one of his favorites, and now it is one of mine. A story of tenderness and love amidst the horrors of war. This is a must read…. And the performers and production in the Audible version are spectacular, adding to the power of this story.

Beautiful!

The story and performance were a work of art. However I am disappointed that it was not the unabridged story.

Phenomenal

I listened to this story last night and I was absolutely transported. It was so thrilling to listen to the wonderful story and the wonderful dramatic reading. I recommend this to everyone. A beautiful, very very touching story that is unforgettable.
