ABOUT
A brief, haunting novella set on the Essex marshes, where the reclusive artist Philip Rhayader forms an unlikely friendship with a shy village girl, Fritha, after she brings him an injured snow goose. As the bird heals and returns each year, so too does their quiet bond deepen, framed by the encroaching shadow of the Second World War. Gallico weaves a simple story with emotional precision: the marshes’ solitude, the innocence of Fritha’s visits, and Rhayader’s final act of courage during the Dunkirk evacuation. The result is a lyrical, bittersweet tale about compassion, beauty, and the small acts of grace that endure even in wartime.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour illustrations.
