“In Raymond Briggs’ story, a boy’s dream comes true. Somehow, Michael Morpurgo makes Briggs’ story come true. It’s a delightful magic trick. It has all the wonder of reading the Snowman for the first time”. – Colin Firth, actor

“On seeing the cover for the very first time I felt just as James might have felt as he glanced out of the window at The Snowman for the first time. The magic of The Snowman never truly melts and in this adaptation Michael Morpurgo and Robin Shaw have faithfully honoured the spirit of the original story whilst adding a new magical lustre to appeal to a whole new, very lucky generation." Emma O’Donovan, The Book Sniffer Blog, and a lifelong The Snowman fan

“Just wonderful! Loyal to the first story with fresh elements that flesh it out for older readers. A timeless tale, freshly made but with the same magic at its heart - just like a real snowman. It's rare that a remake is ever as good as the original but in this case, great care has been given to ensure it is both complementary and a tribute to the book that means so much to lots of people.

"What a magical book! The Snowman is such a lovely read (for young and old alike) and has already made me excited for Christmas. It's truly heartwarming." Hannah Timson, First News
