This playful, moving and often emotional portrait is told through interviews with Raymond, specially commissioned animation illustrated by Chris Riddell, and contributions from friends, colleagues and admirers, including Andy Serkis, Nick Park, Steve Bell and Posy Simmonds. This enchanting ebook tells the story of a small boys magical friendship with a snowman one winters night and is illustrated with beautiful images from the original Snowman film.
As Nick Park says in the film, he couldn't imagine Wallace and Gromit without the experience of reading Briggs's books. The Snowman audio ebook is based on the much-loved and iconic childrens book, The Snowman, written by Raymond Briggs. And the characters he has created have been both popular and influential. That night, he can't sleep, so he opens the front door and lo the snowman has come to life. He wakes up on a snowy day, tells his mother he's going outside, then begins a flurry of snowman-building. Raymond Briggs has been celebrating the ordinary and making it extraordinary for five decades. In Raymond Briggs's charming tale, told with 175 softly hued, artfully composed frames, a little boy makes friends with a snowman.
His timeless story of the friendship between a young boy and a snowman continues to delight generation after generation with its effortless blend of warmth, humour and sadness.Īfter creating an instant classic with The Snowman, Briggs disturbed a generation with his anti-nuclear story When the Wind Blows, enthralled kids and adults alike with Fungus the Bogeyman and Father Christmas and, in recent years, moved readers to tears with Ethel & Ernest, a touching account of his parents' life story. Several decades ago, Raymond Briggs used a pot of coloured pencils to create The Snowman, a wordless book of illustrations which would inspire the film enjoyed by millions of British households every Christmas.
