Saltaire Living Advent Calendar 2021: #4
A perennial Christmas favourite, Raymond Brigg's 'The Snowman', which was made into an animated film in 1982, is illustrated in this bright advent window at 39 Caroline Street.
'The snowman takes the boy by the hand, running through the garden until they take flight. They fly north along the coast of Norway. They continue through an arctic landscape and into the aurora borealis. They land in a snow-covered forest where they join a party of snowmen.'
Isn't this lovely?
First time I've heard of that story! Sounds lots of fun for those children who still believe they can fly!
ReplyDeleteThey did such a nice job on this one.
